Today's offices are more and more paperless. And besides there will always be a use for human labor in certain applications (Software design, The arts)
But the pace of development is astounding. Instead of talking about it like in the glory days of "Danger Will Robinson" Todays robots are actually doing things.
Look at it from a store managers point of view.
Pay 2 cooks minimum wage and they only work part time. Or pay 20-30 thousand and get a robot that will cook and assist. But after closing will spend the night cleaning up the store.
That isnt very far off. And with a price like that they will sell like hotcakes because of the huge amount of productivity and return on investment.
