Man verses Machine

It’s coming. The battle to end all battles. Everywhere you go; any process thought possible is becoming automated. We now have automated checkouts; and automated cars if Google get its way. We’ll therefore have machines which are built by machines and are driven by machines. But will we be driven inside the machines; or driven out of existence at that point? Because if machines are doing everything, then how is the common man supposed to make a living wage? Will we be forced to live on the picket line fighting for survival? Will the lawyers be replaced by faceless robots in shirts administering our rights and wrongs and exterminating us accordingly? Or will we live in harmony without the need for trade with our needs managed by one autonomous system? And that’ll be a battle between the machines themselves; to determine who is solely in charge for once and for all.
