With the advent of robots in factories why is it that we as humans have to work at all

Mostly because we don't have a better way to distribute wealth. For an example of what happens when you put a whole culture on welfare see the Australian Aborigines.

With the advent of factories and outsourcing, it isn't a question of "Why work?" it is more of a question of "Why can't I get a job?"

Yeah, he used to be so prolific, but then after 1992 his output diminished considerably. I guess dying can do that to a guy.
