Chapter 2 Who Owns the Future

The thing that stuck out to me most was when the author was speaking on how we have machines to do many things that used to be jobs for people. It was then joked that we could either exile the individuals who are no longer needed or make robots to just do everything else for us too, and we get to sit back and do nothing all the time, like in Disney's "Wall-E." This stuck out to me because there have been many jobs lost due to increases in technology, and we need to find ways to create jobs for those individuals who like to perform manual labor all day. Going on the economic view, it is inefficient to have resources (individuals unemployed due to increases in technology) being wasted, where they could be doing other things to help the economy. We just have to figure out what such tasks should be.
