About the only segment I can see being unaffected by the robotics revolution is cold sales. Sure, a robot can identify prospects, contact them, even gather data to build a rational case for buying... But they don't have any of the relationship-building skills that keep clients. They can't take a client out for lunch. They can't understand their clients business model and identify future needs. And they can't establish a personal connection.

Although as robots become more advanced, and AI becomes more life-like, you might see even that disappear. But that's a long time off IMO.

Humans used to do all the work.
Humans built machines to do most of the work.
Humans scratch their heads and wonder why many humans don't work.
Humans are still in denial about the concept of finite.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

I miss Blockbuster. I used to do a barter with a dude who worked there. I'd make him pizza and he'd rent me out free video games. It was a great deal.

Most jobs now are peon jobs, (thanks NAFTA ), and more people are vying for them (thanks growing population). And a peon job is not going to buy you a house and put your kid in college. One of the largest companies/employers in the country has workers that are eligible for food stamps etc, (thanks union busting ). Greed rules in a capitalist system.
