And sure, I have access to buy more materials than people in the past. Sure. But things do cost more. The price of cars keeps going up. Especially now, with the shortage. And the average price of Roombas quadrupled since they first came out (from 195.99 - about $800 on average). Even some food places have gone up in price. Shirts, too. I use to find the shirts with designs of whatever for like $10 all the time. Now the same shirts are almost always $20, doubling in price. Not even all of the prices drop because of digitalization. Soe books still cost the same amount, or even more, digital. Games, too. Mant games cost the same if you get physical or digital... Some of the price increases came from inflation. But not all of it. Things get more expensive because the people in charge want more profit. I mean, my cable company didn't want to pay more for some channel they already had, so dropped them. And didn't give people discounts until they started mass complaining. And even then, only gave you the discount for your missing channels if you called. While maybe a few companies care about their product and the customers, most seem to only care about their bottom line... Also, I'm talking about physical material, not content like videos. And again, it's not free. It's "free for us" to use because of the ads. If they couldn't use ads, we'd have to have Youtube red. Basically, the ads companies are paying for us... Also, how many ads you watch depends on the videos. Some crappy creators have made like 15-minute videos with multiple ads reels throughout it. There were other videos talking about it. And the "they" is mostly everybody. Because mostly everybody needs money. To pay for stuff...

And you think making a robot will be easy? Because I don't see it being that easy. You need a lot of parts. Or at the very least, a lot of materials. To make one that can actually do stuff, at least... And it probably won't be cheap. Even that one you showed me cost $25,000. So, the materials probably aren't cheap. Or plentiful to come by. Especially with the shortage. Because even after the shortage is over, it will be a while before it's really over. Pretty much everyone will be playing catch up for a while. Game consoles and cars both need that chip or whatever. Apparently, a bunch of stuff need that chip. I would think robots would need it, too... For humans, I'm pretty sure they will be working even in the more automated future. I think it was a link you provide that posted. Something about human touch not disappearing in fields like healthcare for a while. Which makes sense. And tbh, people would probably be required to keep an eye of the robots themselves. Especially since you never know when an update could cause something to go wrong with all of them. And if something goes wrong with all of them, it's possible the robots you programed to watch the robots would also have something wrong, making it not recognize that something is wrong with the rest. I mean, even phone updates screw people over pretty often. I'm sure an robots updates could face similar problems. It's also possible that people may want a human in certain fields instead of a robot. So, there's also that. Like was stated in some of the links I showed you, not everyone is fond of robots. Some just don't trust them. And people apparently trust them less as more come out. So many people may want a human in certain fields. So, some places will probably keep humans. I don't think humans are going anywhere soon, even if some robots make it on the scene. Either way, that still doesn't get rid of money... Especially since the world will never be fully automated...

Now, on to Kodak. While digital is the main reason they failed, it wasn't because they switched to digital. It's because they didn't keep up with it. They had 10 years to prepare for it, and apparently, they squandered it. For example. Spending $500M for the Advantix for it to flopped because it still used film and emphasized print. If they had done digital better, they would have been fine. Digital didn't kill them. Their poor planning did. Advantix would have done much better if it was full digital like the ones today. But Kodak was, " in the photo film, chemical and paper business." So, while you can say that digital was involved in the decline of Kodak, the fail was because they didn't upgrade themselves when digital started to become bigger. And when I say they are still around, I meant the actual product of digital cameras are still around. Hence why I said digital cameras in the sentence. And they are still doing pretty well, last I checked. That might change soon, though. For some people, their phone is enough with phone cameras getting better. But digital cameras still seem to be big enough. I think GoPro count as high end digital cameras. And people still buy those. Phone can only hold so much. So, some people like GoPros for some stuff... And I know what I'm arguing. You say the switch to digital killed them, but that's not completely true. It's because they didn't fully switch to digital. That's what killed them. Do you know what we're talking about. Which is what I've been saying this whole time. As for the context for "This shouldn't even be a question", you have to keep reading. But and after the sentence. The whole thing actually says, "Also, you kept asking why I was using the future tense for the robots. That's because they aren't all built yet. The first time was post #150. The second time was post #151. I feel like you should remember your own post. They were about a week ago or whatever... You're just being petty about me not quoting now. This shouldn't even be a question. You could have done the CRTL+F for the word tense if you were really confused. It was easy enough to find the only two times you used the word in the posts I was replying to." If you take out one sentence in the middle without the rest of the post, of course it's not going to make sense. I shouldn't have to explain context clues to an adult. You read more than the sentence to understand the whole thing. Obviously, it was talking about you asking the question, "The reason why you're using what tense?" Which was another question where you didn't understand context. And I noticed that about every post that you ask for context. You always quote one sentence and ask for context. Instead of quoting one sentence, do me a favor and READ THE WHOLE THING. Because context is most likely in the sentence. You just pretend it isn't by not quoting the whole thing...
