End of labour

Posted on 15th February 2010 in Money and Economics, Robotics

Currently with 3 and sometimes 4 generations in the work force, the number of available jobs dwindling and the number of robotic workers increasing it makes one wonder about the future of work.  So many in America, and other countries, spend a good part of their lives and base their very identities on their careers.   When we can envision a moment in time when robotics can take over most of the work load, what then shall we do?  The first answer comes to mind is research, academia and more family time come to mind.  Clean up will be necessary.  Exploration of space.  But these too can and are being automated.

Repetitive tasks are the first to be replace with automation.

How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America – The Atlantic (March 2010)

Posted on 15th February 2010 in Money and Economics

The Great Recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably just beginning. Before it ends, it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. It will leave an indelible imprint on many blue-collar men. It could cripple marriage as an institution in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner cities into a despair not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years to come.

Need for Food Education an Eye opening look

Posted on 13th February 2010 in Food

Jamie Oliver’s: Teach every child about food.

Real interesting at 11:30min mark. Kid aren’t being taught food education in school or at home. One can’t tell difference between tomatoes and potatoes.
