[Age of Reason]

You're whistling in the dark.

Jobs are already disappearing because of technology.

In the end, we will all be slaves to the machines. And the that end is closer than many realize.

First technology came for blue collar jobs--it is now coming for white collar jobs.

Think about it: why should anyone pay you for what you know, when they can Google the answer in seconds?

Soon, they won't even have to search for it.

They will be able to ask their computers for the information they need by simply talking to it or writing to it, just as with a human knowledge worker.

Technology replacing jobs will be the biggest human work life disaster in history, because unlike the industrial revolution there will be no where to run except government relief.

It will be the end of freedom.

It has already started, and it's effects will over time increase exponentially.

This is not the stuff of science fiction. This is real.

Big Brother, lawyers and many ancillary occupations are probably not going to become obsolete anytime soon. When someone sues you or when Big Brother indicts you or charges you with some infraction Google is not going to serve as your defense attorney.
