RE: Smart Tray Return Robot - Humanoid Robot Diner Assistant
Wished I could downvote this in an era of ever aging population and always more unemployment. :D
Only Singapore seems to have it right, it seems, by reserving jobs like those for the aging population in order to let them age gracefully, with actual occupations. Even if lower level jobs.
Lol... I understand your point but we cannot overlook the ingenuity in the innovation.
Absolutely. And if it hadn't been for me having moved to Asia and thus also heard and read about the ever aging populations, I may have thought differently.
In fact, first time in SG I thought it was disgusting that the elderly only got jobs like those. Until I grasped it wasn't about what job for them but about both having an activity and being an active part in society.
It's interesting to constantly having our thoughts challenged. Some years ago I would have thought this was awesome and upvoted this hunt as hard as I could. Now... I think it's shortsighted technical prowess creating more issues. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
