Here is an interesting comment on that Forbes article:

The era of employment is ending. People forget that inventions, including the practice of employment, have an underlying purpose. The purpose of employment was to solve the problem of too few people for the necessary labors at hand. We now live in a world where automation, robotics and software outperform human beings.
The era of human work ended around 2006 when the cost benefit ratio of robots took a big jump forward. The economic catastrophe of 2008 pushed robotics forward faster. Foxconn, short-term profit focus and the downside of outsourcing will give automation, robotics and software another power boost.
The industrial age is surviving on pure, but ever diminishing, momentum.”
What do you all think?
