Its going to happend eventually, unless nothing is done to prevent it though.

Maybe not in the next 100years but eventually.

And dont kid yourself thinking its only the low payed jobs,

wouldnt be surprised to see Doctors and the like in the future be robots too.

Just a question of when we can make sufficiently advanced robots.

Economies need money to function.  You couldn't replace everyone but middle managers and CEOs with robots, the end result would be *no customers* and therefore no *business*

 You could give everyone a base sallary, once robots are sufficently advanced and can produce themselfs there is really no need for human workers anymore.
