RE: Showcase Sunday: Krypto Kids
The future is always uncertain. You can worry about Workless Wealth, and that people aim to be wealthy on easy ways. However, our society might also be moving to an era of useless humans. If robotics and artificial intelligence get us somewhere in automation, a lot of tedious boring jobs will disappear. Then if the trend continues, more skilled and creative jobs will disappear too. We might reach a point, by which we truly need to find a way to motivate people to actually do something. Work to earn money, to trade for food. But there is no Work, thus no wealth, thus nobody buys food. Everything becomes pointless. We might get to an era of entertainment for sake of it. Living in a dream, where we only trade fun stories to entertain others. Yes, writing, playing, vloging, begging, might end up being the jobs of the future. We might be giving us a good starting point.
I agree, and the process is going to be painful for all of us, even if not directly affected as there will be knock-on problems. However, perhaps eventually we will be somewhat creatively free as we will not need to work to pay the bills and instead work toward real improvement for humanity. That is the optimistic view of course, and I have written a fair bit about the dystopic side too.
Technology may be our savior, it may be our yoke.
