When computers first “came out” years ago, I thought almost all jobs would be obsolete at some point. But I guess we’re now just capable of doing more analysis and higher levels of tasks now that computers are combined with human abilities.

What technology is doing is making low-level jobs less relevant. The McDonalds burger flipper is less relevant when people can just put a frozen meal in the microwave.

What happens to the Third World when the value of their production is less than the cost of their food?
