Robot effects question?

An engineer invents a robot that can assemble cars. Many car manufacturers buy the robot to use in their factories.



What is the most likely effect of this new technology?



(A) The price of this car will increase drastically



(B) Cars will be assembled more quickly and accurately



(C) The unemployment rate will increase significantly

The answer is B.



In addition, unemployment in Detroit will increase significantly, as the manufacturing jobs in Michigan become tech jobs elsewhere.

B will be the long-term effect. And the price of cars will decrease.



C will be a short term effect. In the long term people will find other unskilled work to perform.



Now... to answer your question with a question. What will happen when they build walking, talking robots that can pretty much do all the manual labor that a human does? Tend garden, deliver the mail, work the cash register, housekeeper/maid, take the dog to the vet,... everything but the most cerebral work.



Then you will see some real economic turmoil.|||B would def be the answer|||Definitively B, people need to work and if there%26#039;s no problem about work, then they will find another job. Prices of the cars will decrease.
