R, no worries mate. Humans will be like chimps = we'll sit around checking each other for nits, doing manicures, or whatever is nice in the way of laying on of hands. As SoT says, computers won't be doing housework, or all sorts of things, for a very long time.

I agree 100%, however, the problem remains getting from here to there, I'm sorry but there is just not enough service work, to keep all of the serfs busy and partaking in this land of milk and honey. An economic system not based on labor will be necessary.

I think however that you would not want the companies of whose stock you own to give away their products no matter how cheaply made, if the present economy of exchanging labor for product continues. Neither will the serfs desire to roll over and die.

Please explain how we go from a capitalist labor based society to one in which all goods are provided by IT? I.E. the transition time when IT isn't complete, bit his predecessors are replacing most human labor. The idea that we will mutually scratch each others backs for a living just doesn't hold water.
