\"Thomas\"(Thomas Mitchell, 4TH ST8 )<\/strong><\/em> –\u00a0In the \u201cTerminator\u201d movies the machines via Skynet take over and try to exterminate the extraneous human race.<\/p>\n

But what if the machines take over in a different way, and merely exterminate the need for some humans just as the automobile eliminated the jobs of\u00a0buggy whip makers.<\/p>\n

That is a premise being posited by The Daily Caller\u2019s Christopher Bedford, who ticks off a number of jobs disappearing due to technology. The automobile assembly line is being automated \u2014 more cars rolling out with fewer workers. And more and more of those cars and trucks and buses will someday be self-driving. Uber and Tesla are working on it. McDonald\u2019s plans to install automated ordering machines in all its outlets. Why not burgerbots?<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s Las Vegas newspaper, a Bloomberg columnist says America can forget about Trump bringing those iPhone jobs to the U.S. After first citing the hundreds of thousands of \u201cskilled\u201d workers needed to manufacture iPhones and noting U.S. workers don\u2019t have those skills, the writer concludes all those\u00a0tedious, low-paid jobs are becoming increasingly obsolete as industrial robots improve.<\/p>\n

Resistance is futile. It did not work for the Luddites. It will not work for the low-skilled workers, who, as Bedford notes, have not seen wages grow in decades.<\/p>\n
