info coming out about how tech has been compromised.

I once read that prior to technology an oppressive king might have one
of his people contact you once a month.  With technology the
oppressive king can watch you daily or even more often.

Just think Cyberdyne is right here in Chandler.

I hope we can learn, grow and do good things.

More Terminator than Logan's Run. (But great movies, both of them.)

Autopilot cars are a perfect example. A convenient novelty in the
near-term. Mandatory in the long-term.

Now imagine a mandatory autopilot that can look you up in a national
ID database and then write its own code about what it "thinks" you
should be allowed to do thereafter.

When people give up their autonomy, their freedom and ultimately their
lives can go with it.

You know who should be having a career resurgence right about now?
Yeah, sci-fi authors. But people aren't thoughtful enough to support
that kind of thing anymore.

There will always be opportunity it just shifts. As we talked about in a prior thread, once upon a time you could get a good manufacturing job with little skill. Today you want a good paying job you have to learn a skill like A/C, plumbing, etc.
When I went to Disneyland 15 years ago some of the rides were "automated", moving the seating platform and changing the display so you actually felt like you were moving. Someone had to assemble that ride. Someone had to engineer it. Someone had to manufacture it. And someone had to transport it.
In the greater scheme of things, things have not changed much in 15 years. The new minimum wage may make some alternatives more viable, such as McDonald's replacing it's order taking staff with automated ordering. Someone will need to create those automated ordering devices. This is a shift in skills.
Maybe at some point in the future we will become the Jetsons... and I'm pretty sure I will be dead by then.
If we continue to replace people with robots, then at some point our economy will crash. At that point maybe the movie logan's run becomes a reality. In the movie logan's run people are give a short life span of about 30 years. Once they reach 30 they enter "renewal" which is like a big bug zapper. 

Is logan's run our future?

A while ago I heard a futurist say that if you wanted your kid to make money in the future, they should pursue a creative career. He expected 
technology jobs to go the way of manufacturing jobs -- automated out
of existence.  The up side is that owners of capital will make MUCH
higher profits, while consumers of IT will save some money. Also,
access to IT should be more democratic since it will not rely as much 
on left brain thinking and scarce training.

Microsoft is hardly alone in trying to make administrators and
programmers obsolete, and the repressive leftist politics or dystopian fear mongering strike me as burying the lead--especially if you are a technologist whose job is in the cross-hairs of economic and technical 
history.

I read this and about died laughing. All I could think of was
someone designing this software to act like any other liberal
online. Write basic html filled with explitives while spouting
hateful intolerant garbage, and it has artifical intelligence, just
like so many of today's liberals (brainwashed university
intellectualism).
