Self-maintaining robots of course
2006-12-10 06:33:17 · update #1
Who will make and repair the robots?
If they can do that themselves, they don't need us, and we are in trouble. Also, they need some sort of power source.

That will never happen. People will always find something to do. Labor may get less physical, but somebody will always want to harness the work of other for their own profit, because man is eternally unsatisfied.
Statistics show us in the richer countries, where there is more automation, people actually work longer hours because work is more organized and centralized. Studies have shown the computer, which was supposed to take the tedium out of work have tended to rather be used by employers to control and watch over employees, and have increased the tedium and repetitiveness of work.
I think philosopher Blaise Pascal said it best: Man's problem is he can't stay 15 minutes by himself in a room doing nothing.

No.
Who is going to design and build the robots?
How will you pay for them if you don't have a job?

no because there has to be people to fix those robots if they break
some things could be passed on to robots though, like airplanes, and maybe your car if you're on the highway
