Reply to comment by Skinny-Fetus in A study found that people perceive that robots are replacing human jobs at a greater rate than they actually are. Only 14% of workers say they’ve had their job replaced by a robot. Workers who had been supplanted by a robot estimated that 47% of all jobs have been lost to robots. by Brave_Cycle_8745

so like those in the 50s who thought their technological boom would give them their dreamed of Jetsons world? I think its more likely that will never occur for the worker as the global belt on resources tightens which will just ramp up instability. I love the dream but i'd have to be asleep.

Yes actually, just without the exaggeration. If someone in the 50s thought the technology boom would lead to the best time in human history in terms of lifespans, quality of life, peace, food security, medicine and much more, they were right.

About the world running out of resources, ya that does make me a bit pessimistic. Cuz hypothetically you would expect the earth to run out of resources at some point. I'm just not sure how close this is cuz most important reosurces like food production per capita is at its highest in history. But tbh I don't know much about other stuff.

But I would guess we would have to start getting resources off earth cuz id assume they would get scarce at some point if not soon.
