> Foxconn firing their employees in favor of robots will become common with robot prices falling

So when the employees start assembling robots, they know the gig is up?




I would think so; as we see there is not much else this kind of employee can do, so unless they have a skill which is harder to replace by robots, I fear the worst.

Something with 'voice' would be good for instance, because voice recognition sucks still. Call centers and such are not completely replaceable by 'Watsons' yet because the recognition still really stinks.
