DESCRIPTION
"Panhandlers' Dream" is a piece representing how the future may be if we continue to mechanize everything we do... At some point, maybe even beggars will be replaced by machines.

We debated whether to call it "Panhandlers' Dream" or "Panhandlers' Nightmare." I guess that says something about the mechanization of repetitive and "boring" things. On the one hand, it gives people a chance to do more interesting things with their lives. On the other hand, it can put them out of work!
