[governance] Humans Need Not Apply: The Robots are Coming (Actually they are already here

[Thomas Lowenhaupt]

Mike,

Long ago I thought this problem could be solved by reallocating 
resources: The availability of farm machinery has created more food than 
we know what to do with; and half of New York seems to be filled with 
storage bins filled with the abundance of manufactured goods. And I 
thought that people be happy to retire at 30.

But assuming an abundance of energy and no environmental limitations, 
would I like a 50 year retirement? These days I seem to live for my 
work. If some machine takes it away, I'd be left with a diminished life.

How important is work to most peoples lives?

Yes, I agree with the video, and the clock seems to be ticking.

By posting on the governance list are you suggesting that Internet 
governance and "technology management" be combined?
