Posted: 31 Dec 2014 06:30 PM PST  It’s the time of the year where people start making promises to improve themselves through New Year’s Resolutions. Whether they promise to lose weight, get out of debt, or anything else, the idea is make a goal happen before the next year starts.

In the past, we’ve explored jobs that robots can’t steal from humans, but what about the other side of the spectrum? Are there any jobs where automation and precision are so valuable that robots are actually more deserving of them than humans? Of course. Some of these jobs are obviously perfect for robots: assembly line production, batch calculation, data processing, even checkout cashiers. But there are a few job markets where replacement of humans with robots is not such an obvious move, but... Read the full article: Why Replacing Humans With These Robots Makes Sense  |

| Samsung Gear 2 Neo Review and Giveaway Posted: 31 Dec 2014 04:30 AM PST  Want a smartwatch with longer battery life?
