The future is coming, and brings with it mass unemployment on a scale the world has never seen before (at least, if you side with my 48% of experts). Will your career be safe? Everything that can be automated will be automated. Non-skilled jobs lacking in human contribution will be replaced by automation when the economics are favorable. At the hardware store, the guy who used to cut keys has been replaced by a robot. In the law office, the clerks who used to prepare discovery have been replaced by software. IBM Watson is replacing researchers by reading every report ever written anywhere. This begs the question: What can the human contribute? The short answer is that if the job is one where that question cannot be answered positively, that job is not likely to exist.
