What a Concept

Okay, Val - but that's something different.
I was talking about having machines controlled by a remote location that do work here in the States.
Like having a group of Mexicans picking oranges while controlling these machines from T.J..

This seems to be working with some surgical applications.

A guy can be in one city while the machine is doing the work in another.

What if we could get all the Mexican labor we needed without having to deal with the Mexicans themselves?

The recent movie Sleep Dealers deals with the concept of drones operated by foreign workers which do the jobs Americans don't want to do.

With our current fixation with drones in war, maybe this idea is not that far from reality.
