ROBOTREPLACEMENTThe Inevitable: Understanding The 12 Technological
Forces That Will Shape Our Future
by Kevin Kelly
1. A robot/computer cannot possibly do the tasks
that I do.
2. OK, it can do a lot of those tasks, but it can’t do
everything I do.
3. OK, it can do everything I do, except it needs me
when it breaks down, which is often.
4. OK, it operates flawlessly on routine stuff, but I
need to train it for new tasks.
5. OK, OK, it can have my old boring job, because
it’s obvious that was not a job that humans were
meant to do.
6. Wow, now that robots are doing my old job, my
new job is much more interesting and pays
more!
7. I am so glad a robot/computer cannot possibly
do what I do now.
