Our Coming Robotic Society - Paul Saffo

Wow. Yes. Imagine living in a society where everything you want is provided for you, as long as you live up to your working standard. If there was no money, then there would be no crime. Like nobody would need to steal a tv if society provided a huge tv for you. You wouldnt sell it for money because money wouldnt exist. Quite an interesting topic.

that didn't work the first time when it was called Communism

[Domzdream]

Yes, but the rest of the world still had the money factor. Imagine if there was no money, where scociety took care of you as long as you took care of it in turn. I wonder how it would work? Also, where there was communism, there were'nt any human rights invented yet.

My ideas are obviously is far fetched but I know that it'll replace the money with a card where all your details, including your medical info will all be on that card. It's in current research already.

[super8hogan]

it is far fetched and I respect your opinion. What you are talking about would create a world that celebrated mediocrity. No poor, no rich. Mediocrity should never be celebrated. But, it may happen just like you say, in the future

[super8hogan]

the same type of people were talking 30 years ago about all of us using flying cars and other shit

[nerdelicious5]

lol, I never understood why people would want flying cars...if they crashed, you'd get hit AND fall 50 feet or whatever to the ground.

We won't be doing anything without cheap energy. 20 years from now we may be back in the fields with all our electronic devices (including robots) rusting away in some dark corner.

@neotoy  Excellent point.. one that is often over-looked.
