Great Response Anish, I feel SF, Bay Area will continue to see various technology waves over the next many decades, the most recent being Apple, Facebook, NVidia, Google, Dropbox, Pinterest, Uber etcNext will be Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Self driving cars and things we can't even imagine and predict at the moment!

When Walmart, IKEA and alike can always hire more robots to replace people who demand a living wage?

I would think of something more personal and something that they can feel like you are actually a human being rather than just a robot typing a letter.

AIR is very heavy-handed and authoritarian, and their tech support is poor.....you will rarely if ever get an English speaking tech person and they are like robots and pretty useless.

Sounds funky but I text a robot every day to remind me at specific times what task I should be working on.

We're going to have driverless trucks transporting materials,  autonomous quadcopter drone fleets and other robots assembling, maintaining, recycling standardized multifamily. 3/4 of existing housing in this country is going to go to the bulldozers in 100 years because the skills to maintain it will simply be gone.

Probaly cut my time by 80%.After its done with these I could send it to my active listings, and do a quick walk through there, make sure nothing is out of order...if you could create software  program for drone/robot  to do basic cleaning tasks that would be helpful and I would pay a premium.As im thinking about this....there are more uses, I recently reduced my time looking at houses by about 80%, by training someone to do the walk thrus, run an analysis sheet, and taking a few crucial pictures and put them on dropbox.

This along with AI self learning robots, and the future is here.  

Mechanical Engineering.Before Investing I was building Robots and exoskeletons for NASA.

Everything I know about economics tells me the US is going to be in a world of hurt in the not too distant future with increase in taxes to pay for entitlement, increase in borrowing to pay for deficits, increase in inflation, decrease in the value of the dollar due to competitiveness, loss of income generating workers due to robotics and AI.
