Technological Unemployment Finally Getting the Media's Attention

Technological unemployment doesn't just affect factory workers. It will eventually affect us all. The bottom line is that computers have the potential to do almost any job. And they will be able to do them better than we can. That doesn't just mean assembly line work, everything from the CEO of a corporation to a scientist will eventually be in the firing line. We must be ready for that as a global civilization. But at least the media is finally starting to catch on that technological unemployment is already an issue we need to be talking about in the public discourse. It's nice to see the subject finally making into popular magazines such as this piece in The New Yorker.
