Conversely, a Wireless Nanobot could actually go down the pipe, identify 
the problem, determine the best corrective approach and carry it out.

But there will always be new jobs - most of us are probably in jobs that 
didn't exist when our parents, let alone our grandparents, were leaving 
school. (Hell, mine didn't exist when I left school). We have massive 
automation and technology replaces so many tasks, but unemployment is 
better in the west than it was in the 30s.
