Samsung plans to fully automate its factories within six years

But the main difficulty of full automation is another. Samsung has factories in 74 countries, employing at least 270,000 people, most of whom earn good wages. If you replaced them with robots tomorrow, productivity would not decrease – it would probably even increase. However, a quarter of a million people will be left without money, they will cease to be buyers of goods, especially those with high added value. This is true for all industries. And to whom will manufacturers sell their goods if they themselves deprive the population of purchasing power?
