Yeah...but THIS time, it's DIFFERENT. Problem is, I don't


know if I'm being serious or facetious as I type that.

History says you're right. The industrial revolution was predicted to decimate labor....but didn't. It CHANGED labor, but didn't destroy it. Similar with the computer.

So, history says yeah, something will come along. HOWEVER, in the back of my mind (and I like to think I'm a pretty smart guy), I have a tough time picturing 'what's next' when we're talking about the potential for machines to replace like 75% or more of what we do now.
