I don't really know what to expect to happen. Automation of different sorts has been replacing humans on jobs for a long time.
I do feel for those younger that still need to work solid for many more years who's job/skill has been taken over. For me, my company is hiring left and right for the type of job I do, so we are not there yet, but I had wondered for 10 years or more, just when they might come up and say our jobs were going overseas, so there has been that thought hovering for a long time.
I am so close to the end of my working days, well, kind of close, so it would be less devastating for me if my job disappeared. Don't get me wrong, I'd certainly like to be the one that chooses when I leave, but it would have been different 10 or 20 years ago when I still needed to work a long time.
I believe we'll figure it out some way, although I have no idea what way that will be.
Of course, there's pockets where things haven't changed much but I think it'd be naïve to think that because change hasn't happened yet it won't. Not saying you're thinking that, just generally I mean.
I think we're in a similar situation in that it doesn't really matter too much about what's going to happen with jobs; not just yet, but soon, is also my situation. I think it'll effect everyone in some way though. Services are degrading, the quality of human interaction as well...I don't think that's a good thing.
It's not a good thing for sure. At some point, although it will probably be the hard way, we will have to go back some. Probably after the implosion occurs. :) We just can't seem to stop ourselves from making things worse instead of better. (as a whole)
I tend to agree. Chaos will reign, then misery and maybe after that some change for the better. Many will suffer though.
