It must really suck being that self conscious that you need to endlessly personally attack people who you feel inferior to. I will tell you what I meant with my post, seeing as I am the one that wrote it:
- we will have self-driving cars within the next 5 years (no, we do not have them currently, they are not yet 100% autonomous and still require some human intervention; there are also some bugs - someone was killed in a Tesla)
- the retail sector as we know it now will not exist in the future. I did not put a timeline on this. It will be a slow and gradual decline. Look at Sears. They are the first retail giant to fall. I expect them to continue to be eliminated unless they are able to drastically re-invent themselves and compete with Amazon and Costco.
- automation and robotics will replace a lot of jobs in the future. Ocre claims that we have had this technology for a long time and he is correct to a certain extent. We have had robots that can perform basic tasks for a long time. Pre-programmed tasks. What has been lacking is AI. Once better AI software is created, robots will be able to replace a lot of jobs that humans perform today. Again, I did not put a timeline on this. My "5 years" comment was regarding self driving cars, that is all.
Again Rollo, I don't appreciate you flying off the handle and mocking me when you're lacking in reading comprehension, or else twisting what I said to create conflict and animosity.
From your own link it says that 38% of jobs in the USA are at risk of being replaced by automation.
You think I feel inferior to you? No, I wouldn't be able to go along with that.
Perhaps if you utilized age old writing conventions like splitting your ideas into individual lines or paragraphs people wouldn't be so likely to think the first line of your paragraph is an actual thesis statement and the couple sentences that follow are support of said statement?
You know, like you did in this post I quoted?
