The Future Of Employment In The Robot Age
So people seem to be worried that in the near future robots outperform them in jobs and make them homeless. However, this is a pretty short sighted way of thinking about it. To an extent they are right, the people with the less skilled menial jobs will be outperformed by robots because their jobs are easy to perform. But we're concerned with the less skilled jobs because they're the people currently worried about the issue. So when robots do eventually take over the production side of the economy goods are likely going to drop in price, and drop rapidly. No longer will an Apple Mac cost 2000 ... the means of production will make them dirt cheap to produce and with people not in work, people wouldn't be able to afford a 2000 laptop, so the prices will drop.
