Reply to comment by Quealdlor in Digital jobs vs Physical jobs by CesareGhisa

Would be great! I am just thinking at my electrician anyway... the amount of smooth and fine actions he performs.. the level of dexterity in new environments.. the many tools he carries.. Its hard for me to believe that in all houses, in all cities, everywhere, where now work daily thousands, millions of people, will be substituted by an army of walking robots drilling walls, filling pipes with wires, and so on... in just few decades.

True, and I perfectly know. I cant predict the future. But I still find it hard to believe that in 40 years there will be millions/billions of highly skilled robots (not in terms of knowledge, but of physical dexterity) replacing all human jobs. Its knowledge jobs that are going to be taken over in my opinion.

Automation can lead to really fast build up of millions of robots. We only need to make first that works and is cheap to produce.
