Pardon me for patting myself on the back but when I did a story in December of 2014 about the  predictions I made for this year, or 2015, one of them was that we’ll see a sharp increase use of robots, and now, I read that China is in a hurry to develop and use a wide variety of robots for use in many of their factories.

It seems that ever since China instituted their “one child” policy and with the rapid expansion of the university system, workers are becoming scarce and robots are taking their place.

'Made in China' is still commonplace today as many industries, particularly electronics, are still moving their factories to China.

The NY Times reported:

That is because so many of the parts suppliers are now in China that it is often more costly to do assembly elsewhere.

Are you afraid that a robot may someday take your job? Is seems more and more plausible as the years go on.
