Commenting on Solheim’s tweet, many people argued that introducing automation in a country like India, where there is no dearth of workers, will only result in unemployment.

Interesting and familiar, but also important to note that these people hardly have any financial or medical security. we don’t need robots but need better working conditions and support. Interestingly, when workers demand these, what follows is automation!!

Not sure if you are being sarcastic about this… In any case, keeping humans busy is better than using robots to make humans idle… an idle mind is devil’s workshop..

Yes sir, we do have population issue, so people need work and automation will kill the work.

@padamskafle Robots can’t replace humans in all field…we need technology where it helps the humans and the nature…Not replace the human…and harm the nature..

Interesting point is:
To pick and pass one person
To cut and pass one person
But to hold the bag straight three persons

Automation needs to be done where there is a need. Like high risk jobs, jobs which need a lot of accuracy etc.

There is no point in automating everything. If everything is done by a machine, it means less jobs for people – > no income – > no purchasing power. No sales.

In a country where the human capital is high, the biggest challenge is to get them engaged so as to earn & live, otherwise they would take Robbery, Drugs etc

In such a country automation needs to be moderated

Macro Economics is important
