The Collapse of American Industry

[Paradigne]

So, again, I will remind people that they should have spare cash to modernise their educations. We're moving to a world where people will need to upgrade our skillset more often than once a life.

But, once we get to bio.nano, can't we just download new skill sets?

American industry is not collapsing. It is having a rough phase at the moment. Also, just because there are less and less manufacturing jobs, doesn't mean the industrial economy is going down the tubes, it could just mean that industrial complexes are just using robotics and machinery in place of human workers. Machinery doesn't need lunch breaks, vacation days, or sick days. It will work 'till it breaks.

I view the big boom of business in the 90's to the computer revolution, massive leaps forward in computer technology led the way for new jobs and new ways to get old jobs done.

My statement is that you should put aside money to upgrade. It still stands. You'll have to buy those downloads!
