Have your kids learn to code machine language now. That train is coming and we are stuck sitting in our old car on the tracks. Most are just ignoring it for now.

That is why, unfortunately, we are going to have to implement universal basic income someday. robots will eventually just do all of the jobs. we'll probably even tax robots being used for company use. it's going to be a weird society, because the people who will be rich will be youtubers, video gamers and people like the kardashians. people actually smart and good at shit, won't make that much difference. think we'll be more focused on arts, culture & all that ghey shit.

Its going to be different thats for sure. Its been less than 100 years when 90% of the people in the USA's dream was to be a farmer. They couldn't imagine our society. We are evolving pretty damn quickly. When we dont have to work doing mundane tasks to provide food, this evolution curve is going to escalate even more.

Bad enough to see my Grandson sitting on his ass playing video games...
