Foxconn , prominent manufacturer for such companies as Apple and Sony and home to many an exhausted employee , has committed itself to substitute its hands with 1 million golem . Robots making iPads . I wish the sound of that .
Foxconn has already come under a lot of fervidness , what with all the plosion , self-annihilation , and general mayhem that ’s gone down in recent years . So it would seem lifelike that the firm would desire for some good PR , if not just to keep their prole out of damage ’s way . So chairperson Terry Gou stated on Friday that the caller intends to incrementally increase the robotic presence in his factories over the next three . Presently , there are 10,000 golem doing simple , insistent tasks at the plants . By next year that number will uprise to 300 thousand , followed by 1 million by 2014 .
It ’s severe to say what will become of the worker these robots will exchange . But at least they ’ll have their wellness . [ Xinhua NewsviaAllThingsD ]
