Technology Is Not A Good Look Vol. It Was All Good Just Flipping Signs Huh

Technology is awesome, the best thing in the world... Until it takes your job and makes your  college education that you and your parents invested a fortune in obsolete, that is.
 
I've read theories that alternative economies (probably not using the right term there though) will spring up in response to automation...people will shun automated labels and companies BECAUSE of the fact that robots do the jobs

automation, in theory, should make products considerably cheaper to produce, which should be passed onto the consumer, some think that because of human nature, companies will attempt to keep or even increase prices, thus destroying their customer base and folk turning to human-produced companies

just something interesting i read, refute if need to

i think there's def room for both. People will always want hand-baked cookies and stuff like that. On the other hand, assembling cars and menial work will be done by machines for sure and wherever they will increase productivity.
 
How is a robot replacing one of the most humiliating jobs out there?
Answered your own question.  That **** is humiliating cuz.  Anyways, I never understood how some of these cats were so nice at the sign flippage.  They out there really grinding, smiles on their face, doing the quan X macarena whilst the sign in the air, big flips, no drops, etc.  Then on the opposite corner you got some bum leaning against a light post with the sign, not moving a muscle.  Is it a sign flipping training class, or some secret night school program.  I'm always confused AF by this. 
 
Man I appreciate the jobs being out there for ex cons who love to bust a move and look great in a green dress, but I can't say having a person behind the sign has made any impact on my choice.

They probably realized they don't qualify due to the lack of fluid hips.
 
I'm rather late to the question-asking party, but I'll ask anyway and hope. Have you thought about the possibility of technological unemployment, where we develop automated processes that ultimately cause large unemployment by performing jobs faster and/or cheaper than people can perform them? Some compare this thought to the thoughts of the Luddites, whose revolt was caused in part by perceived technological unemployment over 100 years ago. In particular, do you foresee a world where people work less because so much work is automated? Do you think people will always either find work or manufacture more work to be done? Thank you for your time and your contributions. I’ve found research to be a largely social endeavor, and you've been an inspiration to so many. 

Answer:

If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution.  So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.

 
also, as these companies automate and less people are employed, companies will be essentially ****** too, because no one will have the income to buy their ****...

It's frustrating driving at night when you see a car without their taillights on...The driver is oblivious and getting pissed because everyone is trying to signal them to turn them on, but no. These people think just because they have a new car, everything turns on automatically.

I am still getting used to my car not turing them off automatically. Seems weird for a 2015 not to, my 05 base model Pontiac did and it has all these other smart features like it won't let you lock the door with the key in the car, unlocks automatically when you walk up to it with the key in your pocket, etc. but won't turnoff the lights when I cut the engine off. C'mon bruh
