THIS IS A PROBLEM. While the technology is cool, this is one more example of where non-skilled labor is being replaced by technology. There used to be many jobs where someone with just a high school degree, could earn enough to raise a family. Or at least, cover their own costs of living. Consider these too when you hear all the talk about raising the minimum wage. Every time the cost of labor goes up, it makes the cost of investing in technology make more sense. So were losing those low-skilled jobs in grocery store cashiers, warehouse workers, bank tellers. Soon robotic lawnmowers will replace many who work on landscaping crews. We need to factor THIS FUTURE into our discussion of education, and how we fail young people if we allow them to fail to be educated. The increased elimination of low-skill jobs will cause many social problems which need to be considered NOW.
