I don't really buy that a world where all the work is done by robots will be an issue at all, unless it's only going to benefit the rich.

I imagine it will allow people to work on what they want to work on, instead of what they have to work on. I, for one, would stop spending ~40 hours a week building software for others and build myself an airplane instead. Next? Maybe a sailboat. Sure, the robots could do it better and more efficiently, but I enjoy doing that sort of "work".

But what do I know, maybe not everyone is like me. Maybe it'll turn into Wall-E, or everyone just ends up sitting around watching Friends reruns, or most people would form street gangs and battle it out out of boredom.

I'm firmly of the belief that will only happen if we have a basic income system, which I'm all for.

Seconded.
