Do you encourage your kids to be scientists or engineers?
or follow the same hoard mentality - either doctors, lawyers, accountants or bankers ?
Since most of our kids are going to be bankers, lawyers and accountants, our skill sets are limited to serving the richs and exploit the poors.
Build robots in Singapore to serve us? Go where to find the expertise?? Import FTs?
Do you know Spore invest a lot in cancer research? Where do u think we find such expertise? We pay big money for top end cancer researchers to come here. So why cant do likewise for engineering? ST Eng can build tank and weapons and we can invest to build satellite. So why not invest in robots? I think the answer is obvious. Building robots to serve pp dont make big money. Even if Japan is willing to sell their robots, Spore might not want to buy them simply because its expensive and having foreigner workers can do possibly a better job at much cheaper price. But if the robots can replace a soldier, rest assured we will import a million of them so that our soldiers can serve other sectors and create higher GDP.
