Check out these two very interesting entries on Robot Nation Evidence describing how everybody from sailors to hotel desk clerks will soon be losing their jobs to robots. As I've pointed out before, gas station attendants were the first to go, and supermarket check-out clerks are fading fast. But being in middle management in the corporate world, I still fell pretty safe. I think it will be a while before robots can make excuses, pass the blame, and and suck up as effectively as...um...some of the people I've read about do.

Medicare/nursing are already on the roadmap, various logistics etc etc.
Last year Robodex showed japanese robot operating a backhoe with human tele-assist. I believe Robodex2004 will hold quite some surprises.
I would not be surprised to see legislation passed in a few years placing a tax on businesses that use robots. Revenue to be used to retrain those being replaced.

I think the impact of robots on society are not that bad at the moment but in the near future they will replace most of us, in our recent jobs!
Posted by: Tina at March 25, 2004 09:01 PMmaybe it's not all that bad if you think about it. if robots take all the crap jobs no one wants, that may leave humans free to explore art, personal improvement, etc
though if you like digging ditches, or cleaning toilets, im sure you could sign up for it somewhere.
