Car Salesman, well on the way. I bought my last pickup online. Only actually talked to a person the day I picked it up and presented payment. Most of the work of that transaction was automated.
Many of these others are becoming far more automated each year. The point you are missing is the job market, economy, lifestyle, etc are not static. As automation does more, we demand more. As products become cheaper, we buy more. As more automation allows greater safety in industrial process, we do way more measurement and control, and we save more lives and have less injuries.
“As automation does more, we demand more”
Okay another ancillary topic, how much do we waste making more instead of making better? Example, what is the number of new cars made every year that go unsold and sit in lots indefinitely. I have seen pictures of acres upon acres of them. More is not always better. Extrapolate that to clothing, dry good, housewares etc... We waste more than we gain as opposed to when we were a demand market and did not mass produce junk only to sell 30-40% of the items, but we make it so cheap nobody cares.
