Until those computers can physically repair themselves, the probability for me is %0.
And until programmable logic controllers and human-machine interfaces can program themselves, I’m safe, too.
“Until those computers can physically repair themselves, the probability for me is %0.”
Don’t look now, but even though they can’t repair themselves, if they become disposable it’s the same thing...
I’ll give you an example. In 1985, A 300MB disk drive was as big as a washing machine, consumed 1000 watts of power and listed at 30,000 dollars. They were (BTW) slower than the 8GB USB thumb drive that costs <$10 today that take almost no power.
Ever hear of robots? Artificial intelligence?

No doubt that your technical skills will keep you in demand, but Apple has made a point in recent years of designing disposable products that aren’t intended to ever be repaired. The Retina MacBook Pros have their batteries and memory soldered in, and the whole Apple-care system is basically set up to encourage the purchase of a new computer every three years.
Someone will create a good living in a few years figuring out how to replace the batteries and otherwise restoring these “un-repairable” gadgets.
