Wired magazine€™s Kevin Kelly has predicted that 70% of today€™s everyday life jobs could be completely carried out by robots within 90 years. With the machinery relieving us humans from our workload, we would be free to explore “new tasks that expand who we are€. Kelly says that by 2100 we will all have our own robots at our service to perform our jobs for us – leaving us free to lie on the sofa and have a nap. This could be the life of our grandchildren – lucky them.
