1. wen capitalism break and we become forced communism
2. Wouldn't a fully automated future have some kind of basic income system?
3. The thing about full automation is that it could be a blessing or a curse, depending on what we decide as a society. One thing is certain, the version of capitalism we now have is not adequate for dealing with automation of a much larger scale. We will have to transition to a new system- or at least a hybrid- if we want to maintain civilization.
4. people in the future are going to be like, there was actually a time where people actually had to work?!! dafuq!!!
5. Absolutely dystopic, like an aborted child of 1984 and Brave New World.
6. In a fully automated society money becomes obsolete. Currency won't be distributed by labor - then how? That is the question.
7. People of the 22nd century will look at this and laugh.
8. Well for now my job a PERSON is NEEDED ONSITE to physically install equipment as it would cost too much to build a robot to handle the huge random issues at location and the people involved. Yeah, I'm paid one tenth of the income if I was a fulltime employee of just one corporation. But as a freelancer I set my own schedule, what jobs I'll work and for how much haggling for compensation.
9. Also, 65% of today's kids will do jobs that are not even invented yet.
10. Where can I find the soundtrack?
11. The domesticated human
12. Basic income MUST be inplemented in all developed country's. If you've never heard of it, google/YouTube it, and spread this idea. It is truly the only way to save to majority of the people who aren't benefitting from the automation of the market.
13. It'd be nice and all that stuff if robots did all the work in the future and people would be freed from all the boring things of everyday life.. I'm just afraid that there will be selfish and greedy people in the future just as there are today and there has been in the past. I'm not convinced that everything will be shared. There is always someone who wants a bigger piece of the cake and who doesn't care about the collective. It's quite tragic that these kind of people also end up as leaders.
    
    I really would like to see automation as an opportunity rather than a threat, but I don't think everyones intentions are as noble as they should be.
14. I know that quite a large number of jobs will become automated by the 2030's but they'll still have doctors, engineers, computer science, information technology and many more jobs around, until the year 2100. I wouldn't worry if I lose my job to a robot, 70 years from now, I'd be retired then! Thank God for IT Security being in strong demand and having a huge scope until then!

15. 何だか恐いなぁ
16. Im an ignorant fuck who has very little educated understanding of technology just like the next guy would. Just like every ignorant fuck who has little understanding about a subject matter will say; "...we'll, i'm entitled to my opinion" - I saw Disney's Wally back in 2008. I saw what happened, they all became fat and destroyed the world and that's exactly whats going to happen. Because i'v been on this earth for more than 30+ yrs, that means i have experience you kids don't have - hence my opinion holds more weight than you young, science freaks.

17. Those with low IQs will be the least needed. We can create a paradise on earth if right now we begin paying them and providing them with healthcare and guaranteed basic income to be sterilized voluntarily.
18. An LVT based tax system would solve this problem. Economic growth crystallises into rising land value, tax that and re-circulate it back as a citizens income and the problem is solved.

20. We have to change our monetary system to something that would work, instead of stopping the technological advancements. How other living species live without doing a job?
