Now when reading this topic I thought of one man Ray Bradbury. When it comes to the point that we have machines doing most of our jobs it will truly become a time of great peril. For the economy will plummet simply do to the fact that there will be a smaller job market and not everyone will have the money necessary to feed their families. That, in turn, would led to the downfall of our nation or any nation at that point because people wouldn't have jobs and then it would through us into a revolution. It would not just be the skilled labors who are at work, but our armed forces have jobs that are already handled by machine from bomb diffusers to UAVs. This might turn us to the plot of Terminator, and bring a downfall to the nation and possibly the world.  Social problems would be almost as catastrophic as the economic problems faced. Because if skilled jobs and labor jobs are taken over what will be the point of going to college to get a degree only to learn that your job market has been taken over by robots. So then when someone starts to bring home what little money they can they become the bread winner and that might not sit well with certain demographics. Also if machines start doing all the work and no one goes to college or school we will become a nation of bumbling fools. Then when those machines break down and no one is smart enough to fix them we will go back to the dark ages.
