THE FUTURE OF ROBOTS AND THE EMPLOYMENT DILEMMAIt’s becoming increasingly clear that androids will soon be part of our daily lives, taking on household chores, grocery shopping, and even jobs in factories, logistics, and construction. Automation is advancing with the goal of reducing costs and increasing profits, but this raises a major issue: if robots take over our jobs, where will we get the money to live? If too many people are unemployed, who will buy the products these companies produce?
There are two possible scenarios. One is the creation of a new economic model, where automation forces the implementation of a universal basic income to ensure financial stability for those who can no longer find traditional jobs. This way, consumer spending remains active, and the economy avoids collapse.
The other scenario is a transformation of the job market. Just like the Industrial Revolution eliminated some jobs but created many others, automation could generate new professions we can’t yet imagine. Humans might shift towards creative fields, tech-driven roles, or industries where empathy and human interaction remain irreplaceable.
What’s clear is that if we want a future where robots make life easier without triggering social collapse, we must rethink the economic model. Technology is progressing, but without a strategy for adaptation, the risk of a consumption crisis is real.

THE NEW PANGEAvikingo
There is a geological theory suggesting that in about 200-300 million years, the movement of tectonic plates will once again merge the current continents into a supercontinent, similar to what happened with Pangea around 300 million years ago.
This concept is part of the supercontinent cycle, where landmasses drift apart and reunite over hundreds of millions of years due to continental drift. Geologists have proposed several possible scenarios for this future supercontinent, with some of the most discussed being:
Pangea Proxima: A supercontinent that would form in the same region as the ancient Pangea.
Novopangea: Would emerge if the Atlantic continues to expand while the Pacific closes, pushing continents into a new union pattern.
Aurica: Would form if the Indian Ocean disappears and the current continents shift toward the equator.
Amasia: In this scenario, North America and Asia would merge near the North Pole.
Although this is an extremely slow process, scientists can predict it by measuring the movement of tectonic plates. So, if the planet is still standing in 250 million years, we might once again have a single continent.
