...Machines should work FOR us... not REPLACE us. If they REPLACE us, we won't be able to get a job, to earn our keep...
I am a journeyman toolmaker. CNC machines, for the most part, have replaced me. What would take me days to do manually can be accomplished in hours by a machine. In order to earn my keep, I learned to run those CNC machines. Then I learned to program those machines. Now I supervise those who program them. The only ones who can't earn their keep when replaced by a machine are those who can't, or won't, learn to something else.
