Seven out of 10 Koreans optimistic about Korea ascending to G5 nation

Why are you nervous about automation?

Singapore has been experimenting with 3D printing “mineral blocks” that are made tailored to the constitution of each individual. Eg calorie and vitamin counts differ from an elder with diabetes vs a active kid. They are trying to figure out how to automate this process but I feel South Korea can eventually.

Now imagine automatic hydroponic facilities, insect protein facilities etc manage to build these blocks. And are distributed to each individual so that their base nutrients are met. Coffee, restaurants, deserts etc will need become more of a niche or entertainment.

Imagine South Korea automates prefab construction so everyone has shelter too.

Point is people may lose work but have their needs met. Any additional side income they get will go to luxuries or entertainment
