Yes I do and I completly support it. Why do we need 100 different media players? Why do we need dozens of different web browsers? Why do we need a never-ending continuation of The Sims games? Imagine Nokia/Intel/Microsoft/Apple/Google were ALL working TOGETHER to create 1 brand of phone (with different characteristics like keyboard, nokeyboard, flip, slider, with essential the same common basics) with 1 OS using the best of each other's ressources and technology...don't you think they would the best the world has ever seen?

That is where you and the vast majority of people are brainwashed. You do not see that those jobs are not necessary, and ANY automated job CAN be replacable by a machine. You should never say "because it has to be done" and ask instead "why it needs to be done". Do we really need people to clean bathrooms? Why not simply redesign bathrooms so that they can self-clean themselves? It never occur to you why should you do something you do not enjoy? What kind of lifestyle is this? What kind of world are we living in? The kind of world were it is more profitable to treat a disease instead of curing it? The type of world that decides to cut on scientific advancements because it is not financially rewarding?
