Automation is not the major factor in our unemployment rate. Sure it affects it somewhat, but there is a plus side to automation... cheaper products. Automation, for the most part, removes relatively low paid, low skilled, repetitive jobs. This would be a god thing if we had an economy that was healthy and requiring higher skilled, educated employees. But we dont have that healthy economy. Automation has been 'taking jobs' since the industrial revolution. Why is it just now becoming a negative impact on society?</p></blockquote><p></p>
