Why is this anonymous coward moderated funny. The anonymous should be moderated insightful cause it is correct that for very large number of two. 2+2=5. Let me demonstrate:

By writing 2+2=5, we merely have one significant digit of precision. It is very possible that the 2s are for example 2.4 or 2.1 or whatever number which would be rounded down to 2 when written with a one significant digit.

Imagine that the twos are actually 2.4999... which when added together would be 4.999... As we are only have a single digit of precision we are forces to round that to 5. Hence we have proved that 2+2=5 for very large numbers of 2.

Replacing photographers are already being done. I know from friends of mine who work in IKEA PR-department as 3D-artists, that they have been constructing scenes instead of photographing for least the past 3 years as they have been employed at IKEA. Arranging furniture, decorating, photographing the lot and then retouching it takes longer than just doing it in 3D software from scratch.

In times like these, it is important to ask. For what do you want the economy? Is the continued perpetuance and growth of the economy the goal? I do not see it as such, I believe the goal of the economy is to provide a better life for people and in order to do that any part of the economy that is rotten, absurd and wicked should be cut off and left to wither.

Now when we have everything we could wish for, perhaps it is time to reconsider what could make ones life better, could it perhaps be more materialistic wealth or could it perhaps be more time to enjoy the company of ones peer, to socialize and to enjoy art and culture? Perhaps it is shorter workdays, shorter workweek.
