[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9290869, member: 6801845"] So we should gave never have invented computers? Think of all the people that were put out if a job by the use of Microsoft Excel or the ATM? Except those jobs weren't really lost, the jobs just shifted into different categories. Technologies that are disruptive are scary. People will lose jobs and have to learn something new. But that has always been true throughout history. Those people that were really good at making stone tools had to switch over once copper and other metals replaced the need for that skillset. Obviously over the past half century or so, computers have accelerated that change dramatically. But disruptive technologies are always coming onto the scene and we always adjust. We can no more stop advancements in technology than we can stop the sun from rising. All we can do is think of ways to be ready for it and to stay informed about how we will need to adapt to the new world. I spent my life going from one transition to the next. I grew up on a farm but became a software developer writing COBOL. Seeing the writing on the wall I learned VB and databases, then C# then web and ... well the list goes on. During all that time people kept saying that programmers were no longer going to be needed and we were all going to be replaced any day now. It didn't happen, but what I did have to do was develop new skills and I never stopped learning and adjusting. So I acknowledge there will be difficult times and periods of adjustment. It can and will be difficult for individuals but I just don't believe the doomsayer hype that it's an existential threat to humanity. [/QUOTE]
