there is NO comparison with studying at your own pace and in your own chosen time slots to suit the rest of your life and working in - say - an office during business hours.
Or not having to commute to an office, thus saving tens of millions collectively in commuting.
And then a permanent job working remotely for a company legally located hundreds or thousands of Ks from where you live.
'collectively' ....

SOME will save by not doing their job fully - most won't. MOST will still have to go to work - bloody peasants .....
Edits:-
"have another swig" - now I KNOW you're beaten and getting desperate. I haven't started on you yet.....
" building robots for the sake of building robots, eh!" ... DUH - building robots for the sake of making money.... no social conscience involved in any way - even you're not that stupid - but you are getting desperate. Not doing too well with white knighting for 'Australia's daughters' now, are you? Go - tell it to the people in Tent Cities that they should accept their new Feminist masters and live in a world where they will be forever poor since it is all run by robots.
And creating the very Inequality they say they are preventing - by according to some the privilege of saving on not having to travel etc while the MAJORITY can NEVER achieve that benefit, thuse perpetuating and increasing the economic divides across OUR 'advanced' Civilised Tribes societies.
Let's ask dividie how his Outback Abos are going to cope with your Brave New World..... do you ever think beyond square one? The streets lined with corpses of once workers starved to death will not produce the manna from heaven they are used to in government handouts.
Life is a chess game, Grasshopper .. you must not only see things in several dimensions but also be a few steps ahead.
Your fabled 'robotic technology' has a limit..... once it goes past a certain point there is no return for humanity ... short of the utter demolition of robotics.
You mad or something? PEOPLE, sonny - PEOPLE!! You 'lefties' whinge and whine about how poor and down-trodden are those who've been literally lifted out of their shitholes to be here , including women given affirmative action starting from pre-school these days - people who come here and get degrees!!!! Something they could NEVER imagine 'back home' - and yet you play the victim game for all of them while calling your own nasty names ....... and yet when it comes to REAL people being hurt to make way for your Great Socialist Revolution............... remember YOU left Australia's sons out of it and hate on Old White Men and 'boomers' .................................. all you can do (you ungrateful little arsehole) is hope and pray that your Elders die off and that the boys just bend over and take it up the ass so your 'daughters' can enjoy the primest in the land without the effort or sacrifice.
Everything you use and enjoy is the product of THEIR work and sacrifice..... and you don't give one sh

t about those you harm along the way to your magic kingdom in your head.
Nope - equal treatment demands back to the office for ALL of them.
It's like diarrhea with you...
You're not relevant to the 21st century... You're barely relevant to the late 20th.
Anyway, you're old with no power... like your grandfathers before you, your ramblings of the 'old days' will end with you.
