Technology has always been destroying jobs!
Starting next month, Lowe’s plans to release several OSHbots into one of its Orchard Supply Hardware stores (the “OSH” in OSHbot) in San Jose, California. The robots’ job will be to greet customers, help them find what they need, and guide them around the store.
In a typical interaction, Nel told me, an OSHbot would roll up and greet you as you walked in: “Hi, can I help you? What are you looking for today?” You might answer that you need to replace some plumbing pipes, prompting the OSHbot to ask whether you’ve got the original pipe. If you had it, you would put it in front of a viewfinder, and the robot would scan it, identify it, and direct you to the item in the store. It could even guide you to the place where the item is stocked. The OSHbot will be conversant in English and Spanish, to start, with other languages to be added later. It is also impressively self-sufficient: when it’s about to run out of power, it slides itself right over to a charging spot. Nel hopes OSHbots will eventually be rolling around in Lowe’s stores around the country.
I have no doubt Robots will replace humans in most tasks not only because of costs but because they are better. In the Lowe's case the OHSbots speaks English & Spanish! I guess it's difficult to hire people with the same memory & skill's.
Almost all the Medical doctors MD's are going to be replaced because they are no good at diagnosing illness. with the same set of data from a patient 10 doctors give 6 different results!
It's a matter of providing the computer with the data. Once it has the data, it's able to consider thousands or millions of times more parameters than a human can hold in their head."

If robot's will do most of the jobs where do you think the factory is going to be located? I guess near the final market. No need to outsorce the production to inland CHINA.
