Elon Musk's 5 year projection (
Musk's Projection ). Interestingly, there's more doom and gloom than realistic opportunities. Here's the indisputable largest opportunity. I'll wait, but can anyone tell me ANYTHING which is made today which lasts a 'lifetime'? Oh, I'm sure there are some, but very few that does not require 'fixing'. Well, there you go. The intelligence of these robots will be unbelievable, but their construct will require a lot of maintenance over time, which in turn will require the knowledge. And, yes, eventually robots will repair robots. And robots will make robots. But, I believe that'll be another full generation. So, like plumbers, electricians, carpenters, mechanics and countless other blue collar jobs, maintenance of the next few generations of robots will be an essential trade.
