Speaking mainly about vending machines and industrial robots. A study by George, Graetz of Uppsala University and Guy Michaels of the London School of Economics, which investigated the impact of roboticisation on 14 industries in 17 different countries between 1993 and 2007, found that robots were responsible for an average of 16 percent. all productivity growth. At the same time, robots - contrary to the panoply of the Neolanders - did not contribute to the decrease in employment. There is nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, robots and automation help keep companies competitive and therefore a prerequisite for their existence and development. Companies rarely invest in automation just to slow down. They do it to increase profits, set up new divisions and in the net result increase rather than reduce employment. But for companies to invest in machines, they have to have something.
