ABB Robotics - Picking pancakes

yeah, they free people! so that people have more time to stand in unemployment lines... if we had small family owned farms we wouldn't be this far up the shit creek. I suggest that we get a robot to free you from your job. (lol)

All that, for pancakes...

thats a lot of effeort just for pancakes, i think we should be looking at how we can use technology to feed the poor/sick

No gloves lol

So awesome!

They're not robbing anyone from jobs. They're simply performing better at repetitive, monotonous tasks than humans could. These machines free people. If the same work can be done cheaper, better and with a fraction of the cost that makes products cheaper and more available. You aren't suggesting we'd get rid of tractors and start plowing field by hand or start weaving fabrics by hand? No one could afford food or clothes in that case.

At the same time, you're eliminating jobs for low skilled workers. People that don't have, or worse, can't afford a college education. These same people, when put out of jobs by machines, can no longer afford the products made, even at the lower cost.

let them eat cakes

Double edged humor. Very clever. :o)

ah, nothing like a little appreciation from someone who gets it
