Foxconn. Isn't that the same company that hangs nets next to their buildings, to discourage workers from jumping :S I imagine Foxconn DOES wanna employ robots!

The employees who were constantly moaning that they were being overworked will have lots of leisure time now that their jobs are going. Bet they're wishing they had kept quiet now.

Know when you're well off. If you don't like your job, get another. That's my philosophy; take it or leave it.

It's awesome to have such technology in the hands of a Chinese manufacturing company. No way they will share (steal) information with the government.

no, the government will just take over the company thereby getting the information that the company wouldn't share with them.

Yes, whatever ideologue, I get it, it's an opportunity to get on your soapbox and rant.
But 'lack of gratitude' is not the reason they're developing robots roflmao... get back to your story books... both of them.

No, it's ME that disagrees with YOU lol.
But it's true, I am fed up with people with a simplistic political agenda that they push no matter how irrelevant it is to the situation. And it's not opinion it's common sense... even if those ungrateful "constantly moaning" drone peasants worked for just room and board, and were perfectly compliant and submissive, they would STILL develop robots to replace them. You just fail at economics, commerce and even history mate. You would probably number amongst those that called Henry Ford a Communist rather than the prudent innovator he was... know why?
