"All kinds of service jobs are springing up to replace manufacturing. We have tour guides,personal "trainers", banquet arrangers, gourmet cooks, consultants about how to manage your company, your individual finances, consultants about which product is better than which, health consultants about diet, exercise, dating bureaus etc. We will always have nature to struggle with, i.e. floods,droughts, earthquakes,typhoons,hurricanes, etc. I'm sure that too few people are engaged in studying and coping with these. Forests need many more people to handle. Why people even make money by making noise! I understand lots of folks pay good money to hear Rock, beebop, whatever you call it it's noise." Where to start. A robotic tour guide that not only can drive the bus, explain everything about the tour, and understand the questions of the tourists is not to complex to contemplate. True it would be nice to have a luscious twenty year old female giving the spiel, but she would never be as knowledgeable. Personal trainers, again while probably preferable to have a human, there are many personal trainer programs out there. Gourmet Cook, Automated kitchens, or will we just have nanobots manufacture it to order. Again, personal consultants, an easy program to develop. Forests and mining are included in prior posts about agricultural employment decreases, IE 1700 95+% of US population involved in the three field. 1860 80%, 1960 16% 2000 <2%. Dating Bureaus, exist all over on line. I've tried it, met several classy women, one a college professor with millions, (nasty bitch), A State director of adult education, Mayor of a town of 3000, and my present wife of 4 years. I'm sorry, the majority of people are now employed not in services, but in office jobs. I question strongly whether those people can all be absorbed into the service industry. I further question whether the youth of France unemployed at 21% can be employed anywhere. That is in world economy boom times. I am aware of Kurzweil and his career, but thanks for explaining to others. I don't expect immortality to be achieved in twenty years, but it may be possible in 50 or 100 years. Certainly there will be personal service jobs in the future economy for maybe 2% of the population. Other than personal services such as massage, grooming, prostitution, , ....., there are few jobs that can not be done just as well as a human, and in most cases better than a human. even those fields may succumb to computer programming (virtual reality), etc. r
