What gets me is we all know automation is coming, but so few people put any effort at all into figuring out how it works and how they could improve their jobs and wages with it.
The point of automation is not to improve your job or create a new one. It is to make your job obsolete. This is only a problem, because in the current system one has to have a job in order to get money and survive (unless you already are rich and can let your money work for you). In any sane system we would cheer unemployment.
Tell me about it. Bring on Star Trek already. This world we are in right now is pretty rubbish right now
