In specific regard to more recent trends in direct 'consumer domain' machine automation via new consumer technology
devices and internet services becoming available, my view is that, going forward, human professional service provider
skills will continue to be formed through a combination of the three following categories:

1. Capability to deliver professional level speed, accuracy and reliablity.

2. Full repetoire of up-to-date professional skills and range of tools usage capability.

3. Capability to address highly complex problems through advanced solution provision.

As a result, I agree with the comments above, and consider that 'machines' should continue to be viewed as a complex 'tools' weilded by, and sub-ordinate to, humans and that automation be effected within the 'consumer domain' only when assisting the efforts of existing human service providers, rather than replacing them through providing the *exact same service* level more efficiently.

By convention, machine automation may usually be introduced only at the *most basic* consumer service level offering within any industry, *after* existing human service providers have begun an initiative to take on more complex tasks following a new human professional service level provider advancement being introduced.

For example:

Consumer Problem: "I'm in need of a refreshing drink, what solutions are available to me?"

Producer Solution: "Select one from the following, depending on your desired level of service:"

1. 'Coke Machine' Service Level

- Basic Service (80%)

- Usually cheapest, available 24/7, rudimentary service offering only.

- Suitable for machine automation.

2. 'Chain Cafe' Service Level

- Professional Service (100%)

- Usually mid-priced, mostly mainstream, comprehensive service offering.

- Suitable for specialized human professonals.

3. 'Triple-Star Restaurant' Service Level

- Advanced Professional Service. (120%)

- Usually higher-priced, more exclusive, advanced service offering.

- Suitable for expert human professonals.
