fukk usps, fed ex, & UPS. bytches knock once & run back to the truck w/ my shyt, throw packages... fukkem 
recently saw a video of a fully automated shipping warehouse operated by robots. work 24 hours a day, dont get sick, work for 0 wages. thats going to be the unavoidable future with that. now theres a slight bottleneck that if they can automate their delivery process they could therefore have a fully automated 24 hour shipment system from top to bottom.
eg take a metro area, lets say the san francisco bay area, and implement a system where a small handful of local warehouse sites operated by robots ship out all necessary goods for the entire bay area. so that you could order something, lets say a watch, and it will be at your front door in 15-20 minutes; like ordering a pizza. the efficiency level would exceed going out and shopping for items yourself and make brick and mortar stores obsolete. which means in addition employees that work at these stores also will become obsolete. google/amazon would shut down a very large amount of businesses that exist today (best buy, walmart, target etc) in one fell swoop with this.
in addition it would also eliminate a lot of jobs.

scan that list to get an understanding of how much job loss would occur in the event that google/amazon can go through with this
would this be a good thing or bad thing?

not two or three cacs with flight package+ comptia certsI don't think people realize the possible ramifications for all these jobs being eliminated. FedEx, UPS, and the USPS employ over 1 million people...that is about to shrink to a couple of hundred if we keep going the way we are by 2030.
I realize about streamlining the processes, but we have reached the point in where we are far outpacing ourselves. The argument that more jobs will just be created for people to fix these machines are thinking small time. There will not be the need for 1 million techs to fix these things on a regular basis...at MOST a few thousand scattered across the country.

and whats the alternative? trap ourselves in obsolete jobs that we dont need to have anymore for the next 100 years and never more forward as a society?
Damn...thats a shyt load of ppl. Do you think protests about the 1million+ jobs being essentially eliminated by drones will cause the government (or whoever) to step in and block/limit this?
Moving forward? We have become a nation that is fatter and lazier than ever before. Are we better at communicating with technology? Sure, but that also comes at a high cost. In the united states the income inequality is only widening and if these low skill level jobs get eliminated it will only get worse.
We basically have a group of people born between 1979-1999 that is at a great disadvantage from some generations behind. Burdened with debt and a job market that looks like it might never recover in time for most of us to have the opportunities the generations behind us had. These are real life consequences dealt to a generation breh
so we should freeze technological progress just so we can hold on to a bunch of obsolete jobs that keep us busy just for the sake of keeping us busy? thats a horrible solution. we need to create a new model instead of just holding on the old obsolete one forever.
automating jobs is a step forward into that direction. holding on to jobs just to say we have jobs is a step backwards.
Not just for the sake of keeping us busy, but to ensure that more people have a job they can do. This whole nonsense that most of the poor just doesn't want to work is BS. Automation DOES help in the long run, my argument is that its happening so fast that it is on the verge of collapsing the economy to a point in where a true "recovery" will take a decade+
What is your solution? What do you think will happen if things keep getting worse? People get hungry and the worst comes out
Lobbyists will pour millions into making sure that the govt. wont give two flying fukks about people protesting, you see that heavy metal out in Ferguson? They will deploy that on unemployed folks in a quick second.
The writing is on the wall, they even making robots for fast food joints
