Adoption of Labor augmentation tech

Following the deployment of robotics, AI, and AR/VR into high-risk environments, these technologies will also be used in other industrial environments, particularly as we move to distributed and virtual environments. They will speed up everything from remote training, to remote work for highly specialized skills.

We will have domestic robots in our homes and factories (some of us already have simple robots vacuuming our floors). AR will be used to eliminate errors in vehicle assembly. We will have exoskeletons that enable us to lift hundreds of pounds safely. The implications are limitless as the technology becomes commoditized.

Have you seen Ironman? Our own flying suits might not be far off.
