Manufacturer In China To 'Employ' 1M Robots

yes. Humans are becoming obsolete nowadays.
I even use a machine to f**ck me now.

Hang on - if we design the products and they just use robots to build the products then what do we need the Chinese factory for? Build our own robots and build the products on the Continent they are needed rather than shipping them across the world and bye bye Chinese technological revolution. Especially if we can make environmentally friendly printed circuits and recyclable products then you just sell innovate sell innovate sell innovate.

We need to start training ourselves to be "Terminators"

Typical Chinese reaction - profit above all else ! Problem is how do these people earn money to live and eat ? There is no unemployment benefit in China, going unemployed there means starving to death with no roof over your head

This is crazy. Capitalism at the extreme. 'Work is the only means by which human beings survive'. if it is taken away from them, then the natural instinct to survive takes over. This is scary folks!!!!!!.

I hope when they invent robots to work in factories and all, they will also invent robots that will buy those goods and services. And let human beings figure a new system of survival. It is a system, don't you get it?!!!!!. People work so that they can buy and consume the goods and services they produce. This is how wealth is created, how wants are met and how dreams are made. All these will cease very soon and then we can only depend on natural instincts.

What a load of cobblers yahoo - the company employs 1.2 million workers and 13 died last year, think about it, that is 0.001% so they are statistically less likely to die working for that company as they are getting out of bed in the morning. And what does the word 'becomingf' mean? It means you employf thef mostf f'n lazy journalifts in historyf.

I bet the robots end up in the bogs at 8am reading the newpaper for an hour.

We are going back into agricultural economy and Foxconn shoots into its own leg.If other companies around the world will follow their example soon people will be deprived from majority of jobs.It means they cant make money so they decrease their demand for goods to absolute minimum : food ,water, acommodation,healthcare and they will tend to become self-sufficient by buying land and trying to survive by living off land-growing its own food etc.It means demand for robot-made staffs will fall sharply living companies bankrupts. It will destroy any will for innovations ( no point for innovations if people struggle to survive by growing their food on their own ,if they make their own clothes etc.).The only profitable business will be based on primary peoples needs : food ,acommodation,healthcare it means: landlords,doctors,funeral bussines and bussineses providing basic raw materials for cloths ( cotton) agriculture activity ( steel) heating purposes ( coal )

It brings the price of the products down for us in the UK that don't actually produce much these days, but buy abroad. So why yall complaining since the items will likely be cheaper for us to buy. It is the Chinese that are going to struggle to live or find work, something we are all too familiar with right now for 4m ppl.

So since prices will be cheaper we might actually be able to afford these goods yay.

The time has come for britain to fight back we now need the goverment,uinions,bosses and workers to get together to make a plan to get our manufacturing back in uk.For once work together this could be just what we need.goverment need to change ther attitude and put britain first,put up import tax put down export tax,work with the supermarkets to make them buy british.Funny how i have been saying this day would come but no goverments seemed to have noticed.We can get some back but it will take hard work so get nose to grind stone and make britain great again

This is the design of the new world order! A time with out a means to work! is the time for fractures! Resentment "Creates' revolt? and those that have time on their hands are more than prone to lose the plot! that is perpusly designed to create a resentment in people and then they; the elitists! call on their hired "uniformed bullies to crush it's own people. If man or woman can just live with in their means? and don't fall for the jones trap! Unfortunitly! the greed gene; has spread to far and wide. Now we have to live with the conciquinces of selfishness and want!. The new third world war is appon us this day! the only difference "is' each country will be "Fighting it's own pepole' fractions in society?.

hurrah for capitalism.

This was coming, Any body with a half reasonable thinking brain could of work it out it was bound to happen, in the end your bosses who are only interested in money will run out of countries to move to.
Its only the Socialist the Left Wing that will do the right thing for the majority of people and that is to start sharing, greed do not work it just means Higher Unemployment, more Poverity, more Homeless which will have a knock on effect with higher crime.
If the change is not done peacefully though the Ballot Box then it will in the end be force on the world to make the change with Revolution, the choice is there to make, We need to totaly rethink how we think, and set things up a totaly different way, Technology is good but its how it is applied is wrong, only the few benefit from it, it needs to be applied in such a way that every one benefits from it and that means sharing. Because in the end Robots and Computors will end up doing every thing, and its this that we need to get ready for.
Start seeing though the smoke screen and false propaganda of the Capitalist the Ring Wing they are only interested in them selfs not the Majority people.

This is hardly NEWS. Robots in one form or other have been use in factories for at least 200 years. Well done Sky News for cutting edge news delivery.

will nokia and the other companies the factory is building for pass on the savings to the customers

Terminator, with attitude

Best start geting a job making robots for the future unless they make jobs for robots to build robots for jobs.

Any one remember the film Soilent Green ???? People where supposed to be reborn at age 30.
Nah they werent they where changed into food tablets for the remaining people.Tablets Robots now is there a difference????

We shouldn't forget that this processes are great treat to human race. All the companies are mainly thinking of their profits without knowing that this will creat a big problems for globalization.
