Second, why it’s so hard to maintain the things we depend on for our very existence:
An aging workforce. The reluctance of young people to take on these jobs. (They pay well, but who wants to become a maintenance engineer just to work in the heat all day and get filthy? And who wants to work on old stuff?)
Enter automation.
What if the most tedious and dangerous parts of these jobs could be done by robots overseen by people?
