I've thought about a similar issue myself. The goal of technology is to make our lives better and easier. What's the endpoint of that? What's the goal? I'd imagine it's something like sitting on our asses all day doing whatever we actually want to do while robots tend to our needs. The issue is, though, that so much of who we are and how we're seen in society is tied to our job - especially in the US. Those who don't have a job (often because they can't find one) are dismissed as 'lazy' or 'moochers'. But what happens when there are actually significantly fewer jobs that need to be done than people to do them? What if we only need the engineers, scientists and mechanics to keep our robot slaves up and running, while everyone else can just reap the benefits?
