the future of work: “capitalism will abolish laundry day” >>> or: “fully automated luxury communism”

There is a lot of fear about ‘the robots taking over’...

Here's a video of the future from Shanghai:
Futures Forum: Automation and the future of work > How secure are East Devon’s new warehousing jobs?

And here's a TED Talk from Silicon Valley:
Jay Doubleyou: pointless work, artificial intelligence and the universal basic income

There is also a lot of, justified, concern about how we are going to take care of our ageing population:
Futures Forum: “Without any plan to tackle the financial crisis in the social care system, it’s hard to see how the vision in this 10 year NHS plan can be achieved.”

And a week ago saw the younger generations show very justified concern about the most pressing issue of our time:

Maybe this is a way out:
Futures Forum: The future of work: “Capitalism will abolish laundry day” >>> or: “Fully Automated Luxury Communism”

Here’s an interview just out:
