Here we go!
b-b-b-but automation is a long way off.
We finally have the technology (sensors) to carry out the machine-learning algorithms that have existed for decades (and newer algorithms keep being found/created).
Like I said before, we're in the "cell phones can have ring tones?!" stage of automation.
The real iphone-level game changers of automation are on the way.
Robots can already read and proof read documents btw, so blue collar and regular non-innovative engineering jobs are already at risk.
In general, if your like of work does not involve innovation or human care, somebody wants to replace you with automation.
