Re: [iPad] OT: Windows: It's over (not)

 

I know that Foxconn is already rolling out robots and in some fashion they have been used for a hundred years and will be usedv more and moreover time and when multiplied against moores law and corporate desire for a tireless worker (aka robot) that we're there already there yet the general population just doesn't know it yet. I wish I had the link handy to the automated fast food place. Yea. Fast food no human needed. It creeps us out but it's technically easily feasible years ago. Getting the food from the farm is a little trickier but really not that hard without people involved except for the self driving car part but the self driving train plane and boat are yesteryear's tech. And I can be you dollars to donuts more money is being thrown into this area than you can imagine. The rich need to get rid of the worker and automate more in order to increase profits more. It's the only place left to squeeze. The worker tires. Needs to pee. Eat. Sleep. That's so twentieth century. Sure. I generalize and oversimplify but if you don't think it's coming and quickly then it's my opinion you are kidding yourself. I can recall when my cousin was writing software for texaco to automate the ordering if stupid stuff like light bulbs. That order used to take paper requests handlers etc. at that time in 1995 this was gonna be huge. Now everything is turning into an algorithm and a machine. And omg data being collected every second that is being used by said algorithm wow

Anyway. That was fun. Here's some quotes to mull over

"Man will never reach the moon regardless of all future scientific advances." --Dr. Lee DeForest, "Father of Radio & Grandfather of Television."

"The bomb will never go off. I speak as an expert in explosives." --Admiral William Leahy, US Atomic Bomb Project

"There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom." --Robert Millikan, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1923

Again generalization, you don't seem to know much about the manufacturing process when a company builds orders by specification by the customer and the software was specifically developed for the company.

Well, we need computation, but not necessarily screens and keyboards.

And what about businesses that use pcs for things other than spread
sheets? You can't generalize and say that no businesses need pcs.

I worked for many years where there was inventory control, all the list
of materials needed to build an item, accounting, payroll, product
manuals, HR files and probably other things I have forgotten all on a
central computer accessed by pcs. The product line was unique and
customer specific by model number so all the possible build models
numbers had to be computer generated.
