I think my favourite from that clip was number 24

Now when are we going to see one of these (makes it's appearance around 0:56).

Industrialisation and mechanisation are all very well, but scooping up young chicks - a step too far surely...

Government's around the world should do something to stop the population from growing, there isn't a never ending supply of resources on this planet.
I actually like the automated checkouts in shops as it means I don't have to talk to a shop assistant as I just want to pay for my stuff & get out of there, plus I can get rid of all the 1p & 2p coins I seem to collect.
A lot of companies want more automation, saves them on labour cost's, there's less risk someone is going to get injured or killed doing the task if it involves manual labour, machines don't need tea / lunch breaks or go on strike, tasks done by machine are more repeatable, less product damage when the human isn't involved.

That's the best bit of shopping. Chatting to the cashiers.

and for manufacturing that makes sense, it doesn't make sense for logistics /warehouse operations, farming or indeed shop operations.
you can ditch your coppers in the counting machine near the tills for a store voucher if your bothered about it (well you can in most of the supermarkets I've been in recently)
people are actually cheaper to employ than machines are in a 25 year period (based on purchase +running costs + maint costs of the machines) and of course there's the fact that most of the up and coming automation positions are actually getting rid of jobs people are currently doing...
I agree machines can be more reliable and cause less safety concerns but at the same time they are also more of a problem than people when they go wrong as you often have ot cease operations in an entire section to performa maintence tasks instead of at worst rope off a small area and keep going around it ...

"There is a mechanic standing behind the rotating wheel."
The kidnapping and being held hostage of the crew bought an end to the project.

I saw that and felt really sad that someone could come up with a machine like that. Its sickening.
The others looked impressive but anything that harms animals is not good.
