I remember my dad telling me about a lot simpler time. Dad use to go to work with a utility belt strapped around his waste. He would come home all dirtied and tell stories of his day. He use to use his hands to put together cars.

His hands?

I know, crazy eh?

Yeah, I thought they had these arm like machines that cut, drill and assemble everything automatically.

Apparently, people did it once upon a time.

I think its about perspective. If you take the corporate point of view. Life is much dandier if you make things more efficient and technology is a marvel. But our culture has eliminated the skills that our civilization was built on. We don't teach farming in school anymore, only god knows how bread is made these days, and what the hell is a Philips head screw driver?

Jobs in the west are for the elites. Regular people are an extinct breed.

So technology is changing the playing field for future generations. Your kids are going to have to be miniature Einsteins to be able to compete in the job market in the future. Think about how hard school is these days. Now imagine in it, in 20 years.

Technology is good and bad. But more bad the further out into the future you look. The division between the successful and unsuccessful is going to be enormous. If your having a hard time picturing what I'm talking about, read a book called, The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Its a good read, even if your not particularly interested in this topic.

: Yeah technology's advancing quite rapidly but i don't think any of us could live without it. Yea, i can only imagine. One day we won't have to do anything because we rely on technology too much to do everything for us. :happy:

I think people in each decade have thought like this. If we look at the entertainment industry, with the invention of VCRs, the record companies said they were going to be driven out of business with piracy. Then with the invention of CDs, same was said, and then now again with mp3s.

The world continues with poor and rich. There is no way poverty will be eliminated, because if it is, the rich won't get the status of "rich", and so on.

The question is will we have anything to do it 50 years, or will some for of AI (artificial intelligence) take all our jobs. If we don't have a useful purpose, how will be even survive let alone get rich. No job = no income. Pretty simple equation I think.

I wasn't trying to ask are things going to be free, but hinting at the fact things will need to be free. But I'm glad there are still some Robin Hoods around for the more less fortunate.

I think there will always be some work. It's easy to become bleak after seeing some AI, but I remember some lines from Guru Granth Sahib ji:

kaahae rae man chithavehi oudham jaa aahar har jeeo pariaa ||
Why, O mind, do you plot and plan, when the Dear Lord Himself provides for your care?

sail pathhar mehi ja(n)th oupaaeae thaa kaa rijak aagai kar dhhariaa ||1||
From rocks and stones He created living beings; He places their nourishment before them. ||1||
