Usually I would say that innovation creates new unforeseen jobs but I thing we are heading in the direction where the new jobs themselves will be automated and if you add in the outsourcing of jobs that robots can't do we will have a jobs crisis in the future a generation from now or two.

Everything from cab and bus drivers to train conductors to airline pilots can be automated to replace almost all human interaction. I am even reading doctors can be eliminated - you walk in and sit in a tube and machine diagnosis you and maybe down the road can perform an operation. That is how far robotics have come.

I know it sounds fanciful but we are kind of seeing this happen slowly. Even pizza/food delivery can be replaced by drones soon.

The only job I don't see being automated is an artist - people like art and to be entertained and plumbers and carpenters. If you are thinking of having kids - think about these kinds of trades for them to go to.

That’s where we need to have laws against automation. If not, there will be massive civil disorder in the near future.
