#1 Yep. The wheel was a serious bad idea. All those porters who lost their jobs.

#2 Yeah, next they'll want to marry your daughter* and use your restroom.

* but wait, haven't they already been using 'that' part for decades now?

#5 If as a society we couldn't handle jobs moving offshore we will do little better with jobs taken over by robots. I think we will have a problem.

Assuming nobody has to work and robot society can now pay for everyone to live a life of semi-comfort would we get:
(1) idiocracy with everyone on their toilet lounge chair playing games, watching movies, etc?
(2) The federation in which folks turn to the arts or join a semi-military exploration society to pass away the boredom?
(3) Or Detroit as everything has little value folks will have little compunction with destroying it?

#10 Watch. Everything will be hunky-dory until a one cent stamp tax is enacted.

#11 How about 4) we'll just be doing different jobs? I've changed my career(s) twice already, so maybe third time's a charm?
