Yes, technology has made 'various' jobs obsolete throughout history. There always was something else for a resourceful individual to transition to. This time we are literally looking at the 'end of work'. Some people? No, all people. And that is not an overstatement. The exceptions won't even fill the visitor section of the stadium at U of M, Ann Arbor. The technological advancement side is rolling out automated platforms across every sector of employment imaginable and it is our social awareness that is mired in the Dark Ages of 'by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread'.
