Now consider robots in the workplace. They seem like bad news but do they have to be? What if robots weren’t a threat to humanity, only intended to steal human jobs, but were tools that enabled all of us to do new things and live life differently? We may need to start seeing things that way, for our own sake.</p> <p>The iPhone and iPad tablet manufacturer Foxconn employs more than 1 million human beings around the world. (They produce other electronics as well.) The company <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/new-economy/2011/1117/Huge-employer-in-China-makes-big-step-toward-robots">said last month</a> that it plans to cut that number in half with the enlistment of 1 million new robot workers, a 100X increase in its robot workforce, over the next 3 to 5 years. “An empire of robots,” the company says. Human workers? <em>They will move up the value chain</em>, the company says. How might that actually happen? People say that education is undervalued, what if robots saved us from that?</p>http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/15180990259http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/15180990259Mon, 02 Jan 2012 08:13:45 -0500<a href="http://cliptank.com/PeopleofInfluencePainting.htm">Famous People Painting with Wiki Links | Historical Figures With Image Map - ClipTank.com</a>http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/14613518010http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/14613518010Thu, 22 Dec 2011 07:18:59 -0500<a href="http://www.blankworkshop.co.uk/page4.htm">Blank Workshop - Online Giftshop</a>http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/13543340832http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/13543340832Wed, 30 Nov 2011 07:24:00 -0500<a href="http://inhabitat.com/finlands-hotel-kakslauttanen-offers-unrivaled-views-of-northern-lights-from-your-own-private-thermal-glass-igloo/hotel-kakslauttanen-igloo-village2/?extend=1">Thermal Glass Igloos Offer Views of the Northern Lights at Finland’s Hotel Kakslauttanen Hotel Kakslauttanen igloo village – Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World</a>http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/12281103505http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/12281103505Thu, 03 Nov 2011 07:41:03 -0400<a href="http://www.kurzweilai.net/help-nasa-find-life-on-mars-with-mapper?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter">Help NASA find life on Mars with MAPPER | KurzweilAI</a>http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/11041527116http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/11041527116Tue, 04 Oct 2011 20:34:09 -0400<a href="http://www.kurzweilai.net/scientists-release-most-accurate-simulation-of-the-universe-to-date">Scientists release most accurate simulation of the universe to date | KurzweilAI</a>http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/11027617852http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/11027617852Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:51:45 -0400<a href="https://truth.bloomfire.com/posts/443952-the-accidental-atheist-part-1-how-i-got-here-and-how-you-can-help-part-1-of-2/public">The Accidental Atheist (Part 1): How I Got Here and How You Can Help (Part 1 of 2) / Truth-Driven Thinking</a>http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/11027562242http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/11027562242Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:49:55 -0400<a href="http://www.katebush.com/news/kate-release-brand-new-album-50-words-snow-november">Kate to release brand new album: "50 Words For Snow" on 21 November | Kate Bush</a>http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/10477683891http://gmrstudios.tumblr.com/post/10477683891Wed, 21 Sep 2011 07:15:44 -0400<a href="http://www.kzoo.edu/beLight/articles/?issueid=33&id=124">BALL LONGINGS.
