I agree with McAfee that droids are taking our jobs or at least prohibiting us from being gainfully employed. McAfee gives several examples and they are evident in the world today. Today, an individual can take a picture of a check and this allows it to be deposited into the bank. Also in certain deposit stores and grocery stores humans are not needed at the register. Because handheld technologies and self checkout systems are in place, workers are not needed to process a purchase unless the customer needs assistance. The development of technology is expanding and growing more complex as time pass. Take Salman Khan's idea of using videos to teach kids as an example. If kids are learning through the use of videos, will this eventually replace teachers? My personal opinion, teachers will only become observers or assistants.
There are so many examples and proofs that droids are becoming more popular than the actual use of human labor. I do not know whether this change will be helpful or harmful to society.
