It's also possible (perhaps likely) that citizens may struggle during the transition from human to robot labor even as economies thrive, leading us to more “jobless recoveries”.

Interesting article. That company makes maybe half of cell phones and other such things in the world, and I've never heard about them.

If Maurice is right, and intelligence does not necessarily need to be attached to a biological substrate, then it will be a matter of time until the rapidly progressing artificial intelligence will leave us far behind. Robots may get bored with feeding lunches to the fat lazy humans, and watch them climb their hills and play their silly computer games. They, the robots, may decide to outsource the baby sitting duties to some simpler, cheaper robots, and find something better to do. Like, maybe, design better and smarter robots.... :)
