I myself use all kinds of electric tools over older and more manual ones. that doesn't mean that I would want some large corporation to build a large CNC machine that can build houses without my or others input and hard work. we need jobs for the lower skilled in our society and for part timers some people just want a job for a few years while there dream gets closer or they are in collage etc.

That's just not going to happen. Even if you want a basic job in a shop you need a decent leaving cert and a bit of luck. We live in very interesting times right now regarding employment. Most people don't want to see the automation revolution right around the corner, but it's going to happen one way or another.

Also Ive worked in a few shops,cafes,bars and resturants and never once needed any proof of having done the leaving cert..

We worry about machines stealing our jobs but they still have a long way to go to taking all of our jobs. Or do what alot of us do work in a job looking after the machines.

This time it is different in that it could happen seemingly overnight. You wake up tomorrow and your car drives itself, your house cleans itself and your carer is an AI. Doesn't sound too bad actually Personally I think that a sudden influx of robots replacing jobs will cause massive worldwide problems. The world is going to crash.
