Went to a Humanity and Machine Symposium today.
There were some good speakers, from Facebook to John Spence.
Seemed to think that Dairy, Tourism and Wine was not ever going to build a good economy and need to get a techy educated
population. NZ is too far away but suited an on-line economy.
One of the speakers who I gather probably did all right in the tech world said he had sold everything, lived using Uber, Air B
and B, some on line credit bitcoin app and Facebook.
They say 30% of jobs will be done by machines by 2025.
Example was self flying plane, robots unloading and drones delivering, you have probably seen the burger flipper robot, and a
lot of driving jobs.
I do wonder with the reduced tax base who will actually be buying all the stuff that robots can then do?
Will robots pay tax?
Millennials will probably be calling more of the shots with not wanting to do what boring old Baby Boomers did....they want
'meaningful jobs", " work life balance" ," Nice Work Spaces" and so on.....
The Tesla they had on display interested me until I asked the only important question I ever ask about cars....how much?
$180 000.00...... could be a while till it drops to my 10 years and $10K A to B car purchase price limit.
The Pinot Gris and Asian/Italian Fusion food was quite nice
