Credibility with who? You? So what?
My point is that there's no market for mechanization when there's already a cheaper, faster, easier, and more reliable way to get needs met. I don't care if an indian company markets in my neighborhood or I get a robot to do it. I care about how much it will cost. The OP is suggesting that mechanizing everything is the solution and I'm saying in some cases this just isn't true. The false economy is in thinking a robot is cheaper than a human - it creates more problems than it solves. The false economy is in thinking that if I put the expertise in a robot I won't lose it in my company.
I don't believe most people will have to learn to code. It's an opinion I only see on
If we mechanize enough then the labor costs become irrelevant and we can bring the manufacturing home.
I told a friend about a robot I'd designed that could sew clothing tailored to fit. He said "why not send my measurements to india, have a suit fedex'd back the next day? I don't have to give up floor space, hire a programmer or worry about the thing breaking." Mechanization & automation is not a miracle pill.
