It really is a bit of a shame that our country is heading down this road but you still need technicians to fix the equipment and machines.

As some may know, self-repairing machines have already been created. If you really want to get technical you can even consider nano-technology and memory metal in the process of self-repairing.

Eventually all jobs and careers will be replaced by some form of automation. At this point who will have any form of income to purchase the endless garbage the industries create?

The monetary system (which is frational) will eventually collapse in on itself and a depression larger than that of the ‘dust-bowl’ age will occur.

In my opinion (And yes I’m entitled to my opinion), the monetary system needs to be abolished.

We have the technology (although many are unaware), to have everyone on earth live a comfortable life.

I’ll leave it at that.

Have fun thinking for yourself.

mmmmm….Sheetz chili cheese dogs.

I miss central PA where there was a Sheetz on every corner and an MTO in every baby’s mouth. Maybe I’ll have to go back to Altoona and have lunch with the Sheetz family.

That was totally random, wasn’t it?

Some of this (vending machines for consumer items)may be coming from Japan. Their population is shrinking so they are looking at ways to automate, rather than import unskilled labor like we do in the USA. 100 years ago we were automating agriculture with harvesters, etc – now it is retail cashier positions.

I enjoy your posts, they strike the right mood.

Perhaps the service person is not the concern but rather the consumer of such utterly generic goods.

It makes me worry about people who really aren’t educated, equipped or trained to do anything else by “May I take your order?” And what about teens? What kind of jobs will they be able to do during their summers or after school for a little cash… Well, I believe people are capable of more than they give themselves credit for, so they shouldn’t mope or lament, they should just get moving to something where there will actually be jobs in the future. Intellect-oriented jobs won’t go away — someone has to write content for everything. Someone needs to manage money. Someone needs to fill databases. Somebody needs to build the new iPod.
