I am reading this book called "Logic of Life".. Initially felt a bit boring about it, but I gain some interest on it over the past few days...
Just now was reading the part of book that discussing about the development of city... Big cities tend to have higher pay job, but people stay in it also have to bear higher cost of living. This book explained that, based on some research, people still tend want to stay in big cities rather than small village (rural) amid of the higher cost of living, because big cities have the effect of "open knowledge". People can easier learn from one another and become smarter more easily, and this open up more potential opportunity to everyone who stay in it.
It then further predicts how the future development of the society will be like: given that high technology has increasingly push up the productivity of manufacturing of all the physical items that we need (that we are using), manufacture sector will need only lesser and lesser people to work in it. When the physical items (tangible items) that we need can be taken care by machines (robots?), we, the human being can and will focus our efforts to only provide services to one another in the future...
Up to this point, I am imagining that in the future, everyone will just full time serving one another, while our needs for tangible items will all be produced by machines alone.. (does that mean no need to work hard anymore since everything will be produced by machines??? Utopia scenario??)
Then the book...... (haven't read yet, so don't know what else more will the book talking about next..)
