"The robotics industry is unimpressed. “A robot tax is as absurd an idea as a tax on pencils,” says Nigel Smith, managing director of TM Robotics, the sales partner for Toshiba Machine, the Japanese industrial robot manufacturer."

"Every nation needs to prepare for the changes that are coming. Think tanks, workshops, corporations, NGOs, and government agencies must delve into the problem and find ways to make life tolerable with work no longer necessary for most of the world’s inhabitants. "

Personally, I believe we should be setting our goals a lot higher than 'tolerable'. #ItsAmachineWorldAfterAll
