Will there be a place for them in our future economy? Sure, you can
retrain many workers, but we need decent jobs even for those who do
not fit in to the ideal of the 21st century worker.
So the issue is not just automation. It is finding a place in our
economy for everyone that rewards knowledge, effort and ability.
If we cannot find such a place, we will not have a sustainable
economy, or a sustainable social system.
If the industrialists will not learn this message, I hope that the
public will elect politicians who do.

Dennis. I see that as one of the key problems. That while there may be
some "jobs" for SOME people, there will not be enough "good" jobs for
most people.
But there will be plenty of goods and services available for ALL people,
in large part because of the machines you help create.
I do not believe the solution is to try to find or make up jobs for the
jobless, but to find ways to distribute the goods and services to everyone
without most people "working" for them.
