We know how this goes, at least in broad strokes. We've been through it before, just not with "knowledge" work. If there is demand for something then supply will show up to provide it.

Some jobs will stick around in vastly diminished numbers with tasks that are completely different than what they used to be to produce the same output (e.g. farmer). Other jobs will be eliminated entirely (e.g. switchboard operator). I'm guessing things like software engineering will go the way of the farmer, with the main unknown being just how much demand for software there is.
