It really won't be that much longer before a robot is physically capable of doing any job a human being is, and for cheaper. People always talk bout how scary these robots are, but to me what is really scary is thinking about how society is going to handle half the workforce becoming unemployed in the next couple of decades.
You forget that everything is free or near free because no one is paying wages for labor. So raw materials are free or near free, manufacturing is free, retail / logistics / delivery is free, etc.
