Yo dawg I heard you like reddit, so I give you an article of an article so I can repost a repost.

I just finished an article that passively contributes to fear of future technology. It reviews the research, and book, of these two MIT experts on technology and productivity on the eventual complete outsourcing of jobs to machines. Their technical argument supporting this theory is best summarized in the following quote:

"Mr. Brynjolfsson and Mr. McAfee argue that the pace of automation has picked up in recent years because of a combination of technologies including robotics, numerically controlled machines, computerized inventory control, voice recognition and online commerce. Faster, cheaper computers and increasingly clever software, the authors say, are giving machines capabilities that were once thought to be distinctively human, like understanding speech, translating from one language to another and recognizing patterns."

Meanwhile corporations are thriving despite the growing amount of the cheaper technological workload and services. Anyone else smell SkyNet?
