Quote:Well, the industrial revolution created a heckuva lot of jobs both low and high paying. 

 

Same can be said with the introduction to vehicles as well. Automated mass production has hurt the job market. I think the drone thing would be an overall hurt for the job market as well.

I don't know how many jobs it would take away, but it will also create other jobs. If they are looking at 30 min delivery they will be a ton of those little guys. How many orders do they receive every minute? Their would have to be so many drones to keep up with that quick of a delivery. Drones need to be made by some one, they would need maintenance and repair, they will have to be guided by someone unless programmed which will still need people to handle that. So, it may not be that bad.


However, if they do eliminate many jobs it may not be good for the economy but, woldnt you do the same if it was your business? Why hire some one when you can have a robot or drone do it and save the company money? That's the overall goal of a business, to make money. So I can't say I blame them.
