@StokeonTrentTaxis And this is coming from a computer programmer. One that has made software that made a team of 2 work better and more efficient than what was done before by a team of 12. Shame is, I saw the future coming, and I wasn't in denial. I worked my arse off studying. And on my own, with the help of internet. No fancy university degrees or training courses. Just google. And those 10 people preffered a cushy life of denial what awaits.
Whilst Those 10 people were.

@StokeonTrentTaxis 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? Until you're 65?
Your first sentence makes no sense. First of all you compared 2 things, durability and quality of a repetitive automated process, and ingenuity and creativity of a human. But I'll give you a break and try to imagine where you optimistic leap of logic was meant to land, and still, automation is better than the human that created it. Google 'assembly line robots', 'automated train systems', 'flight simulators'.

@NorthWeezy2010 That's right. That is what people are meant to do, not repetitive, mind numbing jobs.

*stab**stab*....Walks blatantly away.

@cinilaknedalm Automation is only as good as the human that designed it. Personally I like nothing more than driving my cab.

@cinilaknedalm yes! we must get rid of capitalism as well it favors profits OVER science and technology!
