Wrong, they dug their own grave by not continuing the work on their digital camera in fear of it killing off sales on their films, when digital cameras came to the market they slowly died out

Machines will take the manufacturing jobs, not people. In Finland we already have a universal basic income because it's impossible to employ everyone in a high tech society.

tell this to trump supports that expected steel mill jobs back. they dont understand that this is the basic of our technological advancements. sooner or later manual labour will be done by machines, while we do the thinking jobs.

after that we might even replace the thinking jobs with machines as well, at that stage we are DOOOOOOOOOOOMED

>>59537519
>sooner or later manual labour will be done by machines
You haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about, because this manual labor has already been replaced by machines a long, long time ago.
If you actually worked a machinist's job or had anything to do with heavy equipment, you would know that anything man-made is prone to failure, that more moving parts means more maintenance, and that the singularity is just like the holocaust: a hoax.

>>59535774
I agree, we will get to a point where there are practically no jobs due to automation. I don't see why we still have to pay if no one is working and if we have to pay but there are no jobs then give me money.

>>59535748
We shouldn't blame technology for replacing jobs. We should be happy to have to do less work. We should blame the capitalist system that turns us not having to do work anymore we had to do before into a bad thing, and the people perpetuating that system.

Muh obsolete jobs, muh broken windows economy.

While tech is definitely part of the picture, the job loss also comes from people who earn money without doing any real work and producing nothing of value (I'm talking about Wall St)

Automation will replace nearly all jobs and people won't have a way to earn income. The government will have to provide universal basic income in order to have people to govern. There will be a glass ceiling between the people that own/facilitate the automation and everyone else that no one will be able to pass.

People will have a daily obligation to complete a Captcha quota but otherwise live as they please.

>I don't know how to use vs doc

>>59535748
Yes it is. If you needed any idea of what technology means for the future you should watch black mirror. There is absolutely no reason that any of those could never come true and it's really eye opening to see humanity operating in those futures. Specifically the episode about rating people (you don't think in the very near future social media won't be a part of an employment background check? Already is), and the American Idol episode (speaking of what we will do for income in the future)

Yeah and robots will replace the vast majority of jobs in the future. A post-scarcity society is coming and you will eventually have barely any jobs left on earth. Civilization always changes.

How old is that chart? Cause Taxi drivers will be 100% taken over by robots. Humans won't even be allowed to drive manually in the future unless you're in the military or can afford the skyrocketing insurance costs for being a severe risk on the road.

>>59535748
There is no proof that technology always leads to a net loss of a jobs. Industry revolution killing Agriculture didn't lead to distopia.

If there was a growing net loss of job due to technology. Then the economic system for world population will inevitability change labor to something else.

>>59541679
>The government will have to provide universal basic income in order to have people to govern

Why would they need that?

>>59542023
>Industry revolution killing Agriculture didn't lead to distopia.

Yes it did. Those factories where hell holes and the slums people were forced to live in to work them was just as bad. Not to mention the violence that went with things like the Clearances.

>>59542023
What are people going to do when robots will be able to do everything?

>>59542023
all of OP's things were born of automation the whole point of automation is the removing of manual input, if it didn't there would be no point to automation

>>59535748
But by destroying other companies, they created jobs for others.

>>59542120
Starve to death most likely.

Why would the capital owners bother keeping them alive?

>but i'm an engineer
>i'll be a god in this future

Nope! You'll be a slave wearing a shock collar keeping the owners utopia going.

>>59542134
>less companies with jobs means more jobs

You have to show your working to get full marks.

>>59542086
So that people can afford enough food to have the mental capacity to reach their Captcha quota.

>>59535748

Before there was large box stores. There was small family grocers, butchers, and other Mom & Pop type of stores. Business is just evolving...

>>59542086

They don't need basic income. They would however, have to stop K-12 education and cut off access to the internet. You cannot have an educated poor population, it would create too much chaos.

>>59542137
Because the capital owners aren't outside the reach of the state and the state is ultimately controlled through mob rule?

>>59542214
Exactly. Cut them off and leave them to scratch what they can off the wasteland.

>>59542231
"The State" is a nebulous term. The head of state in a major country is currently a real estate tycoon. There's no reason that the capital owners can't be the state, or that the capital owners wont give privileges to the state (like living in their automated utopia) in order to keep the plebs away, aided by the robot guards and sentry guns.

>>59542242

In this case, there would be a large divide between those in rural areas and those in cities.

You could at least, hopefully farm some of your own crops and what not in a rural area.

Urban and Suburban areas will be riddled with theft, rape, maybe even cannibalism sometimes.

>>59542147
First example in OP
>Phone cameras killed Kodak and 145000 middle class jobs.
There are multiple manufacturers of phones, probably creating more than 145k jobs.

>>59542301
Where are said jobs?

>>59542282
The rural areas will just be raided.

>but muh guns

The raiders have guns too, and the desperation to get the food.

>>59542278
What's the real incentive for the capital holders to crush the majority of the population, though? They can have their little automated utopia even if they have to divert a little bit of their funds to keeping the lives of the plebs liveable.

>>59541497
Those places just transitioned to making prints for people with digital cameras. Film is still produced, even by Kodak.

>>59542408
Why do you think the lives of the plebs will matter?

>>59536272
Not sure if C++, XML or LOLCODE.

>>59535774
kill yourself, commie

>>59542366

You are talking about a society with no education and a collapsed infrastructure outside of the Rich folk's elite robot factories.

Gasoline goes bad in a year, and diesel will be hard to come by quickly. You won't be able to just run out into the rural area in an hour or two in a car like you can now. It will be a long journey, and when you steal the items from the rural areas you won't be able to just get in a car an leave either. The pissed off farmers may hunt/track you down as well since you are on foot.

Capitalism is bad. Let's go back to the barter system.

Who was more right Stallman or Unabomber

>>59542553
Most of the rich have fortunes that wouldn't exist without the plebs creating demand for their shit, so I suppose they do matter.

The entire point of technology is for tools/machines/computers to do work instead of humans.

Technology by definition eliminates jobs. That's the point.

Society should ultimately reach the point where most people don't work because they can't do anything better than the machines.

>literally who?

are you even old enough to post here? And even though you probably dont remember, netflix wasn't anything like it is today when it first came out, they started off mailing movies to your house and their thing was there was no late fees, but to get more you had to send the original movies back. Blockbuster did just fine competing with it then.

Then when DSL internet was kind of on the way out and it wasn't uncommon to have a 5mb line, netflix started doing its online streaming thing and at that point it was way too late for blockbuster to buy them. They could have offered them a billion dollars and they would have said no, since they knew they struck gold. Hindsight is always 20/20, but netflix was mostly in the right place at the right time.

>all the money will be funneled up to the top 1% or even top 0.1%
>there will be no middle class, everyone will either be poor or rich, with the overwhelming majority being poor and starving
>we will devolve back to trading of raw goods and services instead of currency, since no one will have money

Robots are already starting to replace cooks and delivery men. I don't think we'll be able to automate every single job anytime soon, but most jobs may be lost to automation sometime in the next century. When that happens, consumers won't be needed anymore and the few jobs that do exist could be done by humans for slave-tier wages.
