Fears of robotics and technology arise, I think, from two human frailties. One is cognitive: we simply do not know what future technological change will be and thus cannot tell what new jobs will be created, what our future needs will be, or how raw materials will be used. The second is psychological: we get a thrill from fear of the unknown—in this case, thescary and yet alluring prospect of metallic robots replacing flesh-and-blood workers on the factory floor.
