Job Cuts in Poker?

The NY Times Business section today has a piece on job cuts in the poker industry. I have often wondered if this type of technology, which effectively eliminates dealers, would become the new big thing. I doubt it will catch on incrediably quickly because the old timers will keep an outcry against it for sometime, but the idea of getting 46 hands per hour will undoubtably be alluring for a number of gamblers as well as owners. We shall see, but in many ways this is the logical progression of increased productivity, online gaming, and techological advances. I hope this doesn't take effect anytime soon, because I have friends in the industry. I also just love playing with real chips and cards. I mean, how am I going to justify losing without a dealer to blame, or how can I throw my cards down in disgust when I have no cards?
