robot

Last week, we linked to

Last week, we linked to an essay by Marshall Brain about how robots will have most jobs by 2050. This week, NYT has a lengthy article about robot lawnmowers. They're cheap (relatively), environmentally sound, and cool-looking. A blind couple, who used to ask their neighbors to take care of the lawn, now use RoboMower. Chalk up a couple of displaced jobs right there.
