alt Hacker NewsI was just thinking trades wouldn't benifit that much. We have trucks and cranes and stuff.
What construction material weighs 100kg? All the stuff is made to be installed by a guy or two. Big stuff is hoisted with cranes, heavy concrete is pumped. A sheet of plywood is carried by one man, a cement block gets plopped 2 feet from where it needs installed one by one, doors and windows are a one man show.

None of that material handling is cheap.
If exo-skeletons ever get good they should have a good decade long heydey just by virtue of not being regulated to high heaven (yet).
Basically the same reason knuckle booms took over from truck cranes for routine delivery.
