- ajuc 11y agoImagine the efficiency increase if countries just did Starcraft 2 match instead.
- douche 11y agoSelf-driving cars, travel websites, self-checkout lines, Amazon's automated shipping centers, the first fast-food restaurant that lets you order with a touchscreen instead of having your order taken incorrectly by a minimum-wage drone, possibly Watson as a replacement for low-level customer service/tech support
- prawn 11y agoI believe some fast food places have introduced apps through which you can send your drive through order in advance. The drive through window with its crappy speaker and on-the-clock ordering experience is currently pretty poor.

Proposed technological breakthroughs: Self-driving trucks and cars. Warehouse robots. Supermarket robots. Automated drones. Every efficiency advance not matched by an equal increase in demand reduces the need for people to have jobs.
