If history teaches us anything, it is that automation has not been kind to the human workforce that was replaced. There seems little proof thus far that this situation has changed. Projecting into the future, with more and more automation putting more and more people out of jobs; things do not look rosy for larger and larger percentages of people.
The only hope is some kind of significant shift in human attitudes about what people are meant to be/do. I have not a clue what that shift could be.
