Not necessarily. The person who now controls a whole production line
from
a
control room has to be highly skilled.

That is said by a person who doesn't understand how long it takes to
learn to be a machinist or even a good welder.
The computer operator can learn his job in a week. Most of the
processes are actually monitored by another computer. There are
usually a couple of techs around who have a bit of training but not
as
much as you would suspect. These machines are like most of the
computer industry. It is cheaper to replace whole assemblies than to
fix them.
We called it "cut open the box" technology.

I don't think you know me well enough to make such a statement. There
is
extensive training for many, many professions, including computer
"operator"
(sounds like you're not to familiar with those requirements).

I have spent more time in computer rooms that you have on the planet.

Yet, you claim that someone who is minimally trained can operate an
assembly
line system? I don't think so.


It would depend on the assembly line, D'Plume. I'm sure you would know
how to run a simple punch press. However I wouldn't bet the wad on it

No... really? You're a moron. I'd suggest not trying to bet on much.
