I've been thinking about this a lot past few years and I think that it is going to be one of the biggest problem of human kind in 21st century. Every time in human history when something similar happened it ended up with war and new social and politics views. There will be probably big change in whole society, because if there will be so many robots in factories and less and less humans doing this work, then who will buy the stuff these robots are creating? There is also another view on this situation, I've talked about it with some friends who has degree in economics and they usually told me that in fact it is already going on and it might not end up with some big change in society. There will be less people doing manual work but more people doing jobs like we do now. Twenty years ago these jobs did not exist and now milions of people are working online, creating webs, games etc...
