People may not realize this but in the near future robots will be doing almost everything humans can do. It's already started, go to any manufacturing plant in any industry and you will find a bunch of robotic machines doing most of the manufacturing. These robots are doing jobs that in decades past people were doing and this is only the tip of the iceberg.
According to Moore's law computer technology doubles in power every 24 months. Some computer engineers and A.I. gurus think that computers will rival the human brain sometime between 2020 and 2030. Around this time there will be human like androids doing everything from taking orders at McDonald's, constructing buildings and flying jumbo jets. Companies will have no problem replacing human employees with their salaries and benefits eating up their profits with androids that will work none stop without complaining for free. The unemployment rate will go through the roof and into the clouds. If the world economies don't drastically change the world will spiral into chaos.
The way I see it if androids are doing all the dirty work and making everything free of charge why can't everything be free? Homes will be built for everyone on the planet, nobody will go hungry because we have androids farming all over the world and transporting the food to your local grocery store and it's all free for the taking. Need to go somewhere? Just call a taxi that is powered by the same human like computer brain that powers the androids, just say where you want go and you're on your way. Buses, trans and jumbo jets will all work the same way.
Mankind will live in heaven on earth while all our needs are tended to by androids we will be truly free. We can focus our energy on more important things such as curing diseases, inventing the next great technology that will make our lives even better or just playing video games. Creativeness amongst Humans will go through the roof, we will have all the time in the world to make paintings, movies, plays, music and more importantly video games.
This is all just an extreme case of wishful thinking on my part but who knows maybe the future will unfold the way I envisioned it. We can dream can't we?
