According to 80 percent of web developers, desktop applications are absolutely essential, and 93 percent say web technologies are critical to their strategy for desktop and mobile. In related news: duh.

One of the overall concepts behind WPF was to make its development similar to web development and in that regard it has been quite successful.
I definitely got a chuckle out of that one. Yup. Very similar to web development. Complicated, quirky, hideous syntax...

And don't forget: design over content/functionality. With some beautiful animations, no one will ask about function...

Recently I've had the "pleasure" of working with several Java apps. Of them, only CLion works well. The rest are slow as mud, unstable and all around awful. So, no thanks.
(It is pretty funny how Java borrows so much from .NET and calls it its own.)

Microsoft is working on a new to-do style app that is currently called Project Cheshire. Because they needed something to compete with the to-do list they bought?

My God, Cheshire, from those screenshots, looks hideous.

Maybe they wanted it like the Cheshire Cat, so you wouldn't see it most of the time?

“People will have time to do other things, more complex things, more interesting things,” he told CNBC. “Certainly more leisure time. And then we gotta figure how we integrate with a world and future with a vast AI.” Including CEO?
I think he needs to stop reading Iain M. Banks. Or at least treating those books as forecasts.

I'm more and more convinced that this will become necessary in the future. Thing keep getting more and more automated, even IT related tasks. Almost no part of society will go untouched.
But there is more to it than just universal incoming. There will always be jobs that will have to be done and there are a lot of factors that will have to be taken in to account. Also this is something countries will have to work together on if we are going to solve.
For example if the right investments were done at least 1/3 of all workers could go at where I worked with and if I consider the technologies avalible today as much as 2/3 are at risk. We are a supplier to mostly automotive industries and sooner or later there will be someone who opens a plant which is almost 100% automated with greater productivity and quality as well as precision delivery.
If you look around at all the other factories were I live its mostly true for these to. Even sales could be automated and transportation also got a clock ticking.
This means that in the coming decades society will have to adapt to this or there will be a huge increase in income disparity.
A country which successfully automates and manages to keep its industries productive and competitive will free up people to pursue other options. We might look at a possible education/knowledge boom. If a country adapts to universal income and over the time of change frees up 50% of their work force I do believe a lot of people will seek out other avenues to contribute just to have something to do which may make this country even more competitive.
Tbh I'm glad to be alive today and being able to see how the world evolves, we just have to avoid major events that set back this change.

First of all... I like your vision.

We already have experience and I am not so optimistic about a big change in this

Or to a new war period. People with too much free time tend to do silly things.

I really hope you are right on this

I have to admit it is really interesting.
Member 11683251 wrote: we just have to avoid major events that set back this change.
We need a really big social / human nature evolution step to do this. And looking to the last 2000 years in our history... we are far from even leading in this direction.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

A simple cost/benefit analysis claims the other end. Realize what can be automated today, and go to Africa.

I can't see why we need extra income if robots will create food/clothes and other things including raw material...
All should be for free as robots need no payment...

We will still need some way to distribute things, just because human labour isn't needed doesn't mean supply wont be bigger than demand. Either you need a que system or some other way to sort out who will get what. In the future money might be replaced by some sort of currency linked to energy/time and environmental factors. Universal income is a stepping stone towards this.
