"Well, there's certain jobs that only people can do. You can't have a machine make sweaters made by hand. And there's kinds of things which involve social interaction which only people can do. Some of the social interaction maybe machines can do. But, if you really want a human you got to have a human. And so, I'm not saying that all jobs will be replaced, but we're already seeing a trend of many and I think that trend will continue and you read people who talk about the current slow recovery, the economic situation, and many people say "Well, we've laid off a lot of people because of the recession, but in the meantime we've found out we could do some of those jobs that those people did with machines and by the way, we're not going to hire those people back." And so, I think that's going to be a continuing difficulty."
