I actually had an interesting chat about this the other day. What happens when everyones job is taken by a computer and the world is completely automated. Do humans go away? Does the world turn red and become a soviet russia under the control of the machines? Are computers our ultimate downfall?

[Oisterman]

Yes, we're phasing ourselves out.

No sarcasm.

Srsly.

Whos to say we're not dumb enough to let that happen?

Half our jobs are already outsourced or done by a machine? Where do we draw the line?

We already have customer service jobs being taken out for automated shopping, just go to Wal-Mart. Those are the job any average joe like you and me can get and soon you'll be reminiscing on the old days on how they were so easy to obtain.

Robots may not be able to replace humans because then who will build the robots? But we are taking steps closer to a cybernetic age where our lives may revolve around machine. We've seen signs already where people have prosthetic limbs replacing those who have had accidents or were effected by a birth defect. These sort of things are gonna make it hard for the average to survive but the pioneers of our future are going to live like kings and queens.
