I have a brighter vision for the future. Robots can do all our work for us, while we just sit around and surf the internet, lookup facebook, lookup twitter, play farmville, and have robots take care of our medical problems.

Or we could devote ourselves to exploration, science, and art... or we could play farmville.

Automation is what killed jobs in Manufacturing in North America. If they user robots they might as well move factories any where in the world because China no longer has a comparative advantage with cheap labor.

Cheap labor is already being seen in Vietnam. China isn't the low wage labor capital of the world anymore.

Once energy become fairly free if not cheap to produce and replication/replicator technology takes over, then humanity, well, at least the sane ones in 1st and second world countries, will be free to pursue these things on a much larger scale. 200 - 400 years from now I imagine.
 
Put people to work on infrastructure. And not building empty cities while people live in shantytowns.

Let's also move away from the urban commute via car paradigm.
