Duty Now For The Future

Los Angeles CA

Description

I apologize to those expecting a DEVO topic. It's not. This is about technology and the price we pay for convenience. The future looks bleak as more jobs become extinct due to technology. For your convenience. They got a guy at the supermarket to tell you to bypass the line and human contact by using the cashier-less machine. I always refuse and tell him I still support the human race. Human jobs. I was at Kaiser yesterday and followed directions on validating my parking ticket yet, big shocker when I get to the gate, it doesn't work. Re-scan...nothing. Cars start lining up behind me. Re-scan, nothing. There's a button there for my convenience... "Im sorry there is no one here to answer your call" Re-scan. Re-call. NOTHING. It went from a free visit to the Hospital to $25. If you think about it... a pretty good scam. You cant get out of your car. There's no one to complain to anyway. The only way out is slipping your credit card in and paying $25. With a line of cars behind you. What if you don't have a credit card? You'd be stuck. Forever. Not too convenient. Actually, that's exactly DEVO!
