Robots don't need an IPod Touch..
The economic consequences of a human’s ability to work with a robot, and vice versa, are potentially enormous. Factories could could do away with painstakingly configured assembly lines, saving billions in equipment setup costs. Need to modify a popular product? Humanrobot
teams can create custom versions of anything from electronics to airplanes without the need for expensive retooling. The technology will allow companies to quickly respond to consumer demand, updating products in cycles measured in weeks, not years. And workers should find rewarding the ever changing challenges of the factory floor.For these reasons and more, we need to realize that robots may ultimately be more effective as supervisors, not slaves.
Humans and robots will work elbow to elbow on the shop foor, but you’ll be surprised by who’s
giving the orders

Well I had the clear view that most of the routine jobs will slowly be replaced by machines (Taxi Drivers, Graphic design, some front office jobs, pilots, train driver's, assembly lines, etc....)
If David Bourne is right Robots one day can be better at calling the shots and this brings automation to another level! I guess besides hairdresser, personal trainer, artist, creative, Yoga teacher, horse trainer, etc... everything can be slowly replaced by machines.
What could be the implications from this
The value of producing/doing is going down
The value of creating/research/investigation is going up
The guy who builds robots is going to make money
Programming & software
I see deflation, the cost of producing is going down and since you can produce all day long non stop the prices of everything will go sharply down
I see oversupply of almost everything besides natural resources, etc....
The value of the human touch is going up but it can't get very much out of the cost of the mechanical substitute
The question is who are you going to sell to if the potential clients have no jobs?
