    I think I'd rather die, so it'll be a world without little ol' me.

    That world belongs to the wealthy elite methink. The rest will be lucky to find some caretaker position in it.

    The rest of us would probably have to just stand around until a robot breaks. That sounds like such a thrilling life..

    In response to mandatory minimum wage increases some fast food restaurants are toying with having you punch in your order yourselves. There won't always be someone to take your order. This post was edited by O-uknow at March 4, 2017 3:47 PM MST

    McDonalds here in Calgary already has these machines. They take your order and you pay with your credit card or debit card. But if you wish to use cash, you have to go to the cashier and order there.

  • I'm already retired and it won't matter much to me either way. I feel sorry for the people trying to feed their families if that happens but they can have mine. I'm old enough that it really doesn't matter.

    When the robots wheels become squeaky, someone must grease it.  I can do that.. :)

  • It may well happen eventually but not for a while yet. So I'd say it will be a world without anybody whose here reading this today.
