Will the Robotic Revolution Make Your Job Obsolete? - thenewamerican.com
Excerpt from this article:
"...the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands has more automated
delivery terminals than the entire United States, thanks to delays by Luddite
unions in America determined to keep the robotic revolution from
happening....The robotics revolution, thanks to Moore’s Law (how overall
processing power for computers will double every two years) and the
consequent dramatic lowering of the cost of information, is sweeping
across the world, whether unions like it or not. High-tech software is
replacing stock traders, steel workers, and front loader drivers —
making work places not only safer but more efficient. In some cases
robots are doing the jobs of 10 workers."
