  I'm not a pessimistic, but we'll still have jobs but we'll work for the robots. That's how it's going to be. I already work for my computer which keeps controlling my time.
  
  Automation is going to replace humans as machines continue to make majority of humans dumber. I personally have lost the ability to do simple math in my head and have began resorting to the calculator app in my mobile. It sucks!
  
  I've found solace in not thinking about the future much.

  What will replace the jobs ?
  
  very simple : Entrepreneurship of course.
  
  In fact this will help to generate more jobs.
  
  
  but mind you all, the idea of robots replacing humans is just a fantasy, and this will not really take place. God will surely not allow this.

  The robots are made by engineers. They will replace blue collar workers. One of the companies in my group already has one new plant with many robots doing the job of a human worker.
  
  What we should do now is to search for alternatives. There will be new kind of jobs. Let us gear up for it.

  Man must never be foolish enough to hand the control completely to the bots. I am not against automation But 100% of it will make you lose every thing in your life
  
  Never say automation can replace every thing Things which a one on one human interaction can provide can never be equated and substituted by robots

  Now even if we search for these new jobs, in a matter of time , new bots will be created to replace humans doing those "new jobs"

  Yep, I think that'll enable us to have more 'human feel' to all the mod activities and conversations 😉
  
  Automation is already replacing humans, but maybe we're finding comfort in 'being in charge' of those bots.

  So long as humans think (Crazily if needed), we will hold our own.The issue is not the lost jobs. What skills have to develop to take on the new jobs? What should we do now to handle that situation pro-actively?
  Bulk of the jobs lost will be blue collar ones. Not the creative ones. It is upto us to develop training programmes to handle the new scenario.

  My two cents here Humans have the ability to think out of the box when it is needed But robots fail miserably here. That is why automatised products are photocopies of one another Whereas each and every human being is distinct in their approach to any problem
  
  That differentiates Humans and Robots Making Humans Irreplacable
