4. THis has been a concern of mine for some time now

There is less work to do. Many jobs are getting automated. Within ten or so years truck drivers will be redundant. Airline pilots already can have the airplane do most of the flying. Expert systems already do a better job of diagnosing patients but people are too skeeved out by not having a doctor.

What happens when we can build a house with what is essentially a ink-jet printer writ large?

In my opinion about one third of the population is already unemployable. What happens when 60% of the population can't find work? That is why pot should be legal, keep them stoned and not causing trouble.
