"Oh no, they're going to replace actual tellers!"
I agree here. I don't think so by 2008 we will have so much robots, atleast in restraurant. I will be missing the Human elements in there. (I would love to see a beautilful babe serving me than a tin box)
But Humans are pushing Technology. If Microsoft/IBM/etc does not has any technology breakthrough to make, Sooner or later they will push themselves in lucarative Robots market but on the other side Humans altleast in the current stages are *Possive* about your job.
I cannot tolerate my job moving to other nation so can I tolerate my own country asking me to make robots to kill my own job?
