Pretty cool...Got to hand it to him..
Well.......that looks pretty neat. Automation is gonna put more people out of work. We might all have to start taking our clothes off for money before it's all over.

??Alfred North Whitehead summed it up best when he remarked that the greatest invention of the nineteenth century was the idea of invention itself. We had learned how to invent things, and the question of why we invent things receded in importance. The idea that if something could be done it should be done was born in the nineteenth century. And along with it, there developed a profound belief in all the principles through which invention succeeds: objectivity, efficiency, expertise, standardization, measurement, and progress. It also came to be believed that the engine of technological progress worked most efficiently when people are conceived of not as children of God or even as citizens but as consumers??that is to say, as markets.?

You seem to imply that the little guy isn't useful. I think he could be, especially for marking a wet pitch.
Also, let me be the first to EMPHASIZE that I would pay Just A. Surveyor to keep his clothes on!
