What if in 100 years, robots can do all the work.

You really don't deserve the life you have, you're nothing but pessimistic about everything, no matter the topic.

Just end your life if you're so miserable.

Quote from TraderZones:

Who is to say we will survive 100 years? With piles of nukes, biologic, chemical warfare and other things getting into the hands of everyone, we might just be one more species on Earth mucking around for food along with the beetles...
 
How many hours a week did your grandparents work? Did they enjoy 40-hour workweeks, and did they get to enjoy 20 years of retirement as most of us do today? Technology and productivity improvements have improved our lives dramatically.

My prediction is that this trend continues and that in 100 years, people will work 20 hour work weeks, and retire at 45.

I wouldn´t worry about not enough jobs.. Only thing to worry about is if the ownership of the robots will be more or less evenly spread, so everybody can reap the rewards. If the ownership will be concentrated in a few hands, some will live lifes or leisure, others will live lifes begging.
 
Quote from KINGOFSHORTS:

Accounting,trading etc.. So how would people earn a living? Or would folks collect some kind of dividend and just live a life of leisure a perfect life with no worries?

What if in 100 yrs u r 6 feet under. oh wait u will be.
 
The question is...how intelligent will the robots be? Will they be able to self maintain themselves? if something goes wrong with 1 robot, will the other robots know and try to fix it? If they are that smart, then they might be able to program themselves and learn from their environment. Then it will get messy after that. If they learn from their environment, they might see violent movies on TV or maybe some documentary about how bad slavery is and then decide to rebel and launch nukes on the world, just like in terminator.

Those who own the robots and other resources will be super-weathy. The rest of the world will be jobless.

If you live in a welfare state, you will do fine, otherwise you end up homeless.
