This just speculation on your part . There is absolutely no evidence that more advanced automation will have a different effect on the demand for workers than less advanced automation . Your conclusion appears to be based on emotion , not evidence . The hypothesis of technological unemployment rests on a misunderstanding of how cheap automation affects the value of labour . What actually happens is that those things that are easily automated become commodified , and this in turn increases the amount spent on those things that are hardest to produce , because they are not automatable . That ' s why automation has increased wages over the last 200 years . There were far more things that humans could do that machines could not 200 years ago , relative to today , yet wages are growing faster today .
