Automation has made the existing market system untenable.

The point was whether or not the market system is still viable in the face of rapidly expanding technology, expanding in both sophistication and becomes considerably cheaper at the same time. A car factory is an excellent example, The bulk of tasks are completed by machine. (Ex. http://www.youtube.com... ) Though Humans are still employed to perform some tasks in the factory, they are not actually required for those tasks. They can be done like most other jobs in the assembly line-better and faster by a machine yet Automotive companies maintain workers largely for the sake of maintaining workers. In recent years Automation has made its way in large scale into Shipping and processing centers. Kiva systems now power Amazon delivery centers, cutting required human labor to a fraction. http://www.youtube.com... the residual human labor is not absolutely required, but is simply easier for a human todo. How ever, The Labor lump fallacy contents that these jobs are not actually being destroyed in our economy, only displaced. How ever this very weak logical grounds for this.In truth, only so many programmers are required and the factories that assemble these robots are entirely or nearly entirely automated as well. hence the contention " some one has to make the robots" hits a wall. The labor force is shrinking, especially labour force that involves any tasks that are inherently repetitive and laborious. ( ex. http://www.huffingtonpost.com... ) But Jobs behind the counter of fast food restaurants are already largely automated and a attendant behind the counter these days does a truly minimal amount of work... which again is not actually physically required. As we go, we run into the pioneering end of Robotics, not only are they becoming cheaper and easier to afford and program. ( Hello, Baxter. http://www.rethinkrobotics.com... ) But they are becoming more and more sophisticated and autonomous. We have come along way form the ways when automated assembly meant that every movement of the machine had to be precisely programmed, machines these days are becoming intuitive by comparison. So what is left for Humans to really do?Mining Perhaps? Nope- http://www.reuters.com... Surely we need cashiers and such? Nope- http://www.shop24global.com... Vending machines stores are already highly popular in Asia and increasingly so in Europe, the United states wont be far behind. That is... what's left of physical shops to begin with- the Internet is absolutely destroying brick and motor stores. Some once big name anchor stores have now retreated into entirely digital formats. What's that mean? No more jobs at the local stores. The few jobs at the where house are replacing thousands lost across the country. Surely a vending machine cant age verifying, we still need Attendants at places that sell alcohol! ... No... Age verification technology, while not perfect is rapidly improving, in a short time every vendors that sell alcohol or Tobacco wont need a human attendant, or one human attendant can do the work of many. All of this means that with fewer jobs available, especially fewer low skill jobs... You run into a serious problem. There isn't enough money circling around the consumer economy to maintain sufficient consumer levels that support the modern market. These people in turn are becoming active drags on the system which was set up to demand productivity from its citizens but the system it self is not incapable of facilitation of that. There is no job that is repetitive or laborious that Automation will not soon claim. So, how do you propose that our modern money mechanics, our modern market system will remain viable into the coming decades?
