qdietz The need for data entry has greatly been reduced nowadays simply because your better off writing a small program in an hour or two to put the data in the database rather than having someone do it manually. Also outsourcing to countries such as india and china...

qdietz To be honest it is way to early for artificial intelligence to be a threat to humankind. The only way that it could be a threat would be if we made robots that could reproduce (aka build some more), have a desire to hurt the human race (now why would we make...
