I am having problems following your argument.

Are you commenting about simple tasks in general? strawberry picking in particular? all tasks?

It seems like your first statement was talking about strawberry and orange. Your statement was also very open ended because you didn't say that there are tasks that cannot be mechanized.

At best, you said that jobs would be eliminated to be replaced with other jobs. You never actually said that some jobs cannot be eliminated.

Now you say that you're not talking about deadliest catch guys.


I'm having trouble following your logic.


1. What task(s) do you think can be mechanised?

2. What task(s) do you think canNOT be mechanised?

3. If you gave an answer for #2, does this answer contradict with your original statement:
