Amazing bricklaying machine is great news for everyone but bricklayers

Will the world suddenly see an explosion of charming brick roads, instead of all that concrete and asphalt that renders towns and villages far less quaint? A bricklaying breakthrough could make that a reality! A Dutch company makes a machine called the Tiger-Stone, which lays bricks in perfect formation, using a gravity-based system, at lightning speed. While the average bricklayer can lay only about 90 to 120 square yards of new road a day, the Tiger-Stone, an electrically powered machine as wide as a road, can lay 478 square yards per day. Just tamp it down and the road is good to go. Which sounds very cool, unless you happen to be a bricklayer. [Source]
