Everyone always says that we are over estimating current changes in the economy. We already had industrialisation and it went fine. I think they are wrong, we are on the verge of something totally new and all the optimists aren't realists.
Farming was automized, so we transformed to other jobs. No problem there ( thank god it was possible)
Industrialisation made it possible for a company export to a total new market and it made worldwide selling possible ==> New markets. No problem there
Computer appeared. Untill now, the effect wasn't big. They lines are all dedicated and require huge investments.
Humans are still required for putting chocolates in a box and getting it out of the "container" ( although it could be automatised with a huge investment).
What's going to happen when those robots with an investment cost of 10.000$ to replace an employee. Can learn putting chocolates in a box with supervised learning and no other investment.
Who's going to get work and where is the money coming from if all jobs are slowly being replaced / automized. I think there is a lot of trouble on the road ahead. To what usefull jobs will all drivers/truckers/taxi's transform to for still being usefull. What jobs are next, accounting perhaps. And where will it stop?
And don't say, they have to learn something new. The people that are going to be replaced by total automation ( robots) in the workforce are (mostly) workers in the first place and i don't think a lot of them are smart enough, to do something new that won't be replaced by automation < 3 years when it begins.
I'm not trying to offend someone, but i'm pretty hopeless because i don't see a way out for a lot of people.
