Humans are being downsized and that is just evolutionary progression. I am glad I am not 25 looking for a future without a modern era education. And crockett, truck drivers are semiskilled workers that can be replaced by machines -- 80% of humans are replaceable by machines. This doesn't make them bad people but should I pay more and suffer inefficiency so they have a better life with limited skills? That is a moral and societal question that I can't really answer.

I am 60 years old this month and not too far from the "dog food factory." I make my living designing the future so this is in my self interest survival to think this way because this is the direction society has chosen to take. I will resist becoming dog food as long as I can think and plan the future.
You expect it's just low skilled workers whom will be replaced, but it's not. It's predicted that by 2025 30% of jobs will be replaced by machines (yes just 10 years from today). Even jobs such as wall st traders are at risk of being replaced by computers.

Then you have computer programmers.. How long do you think it will be before code can be written by computers themselves? Think about it.. It's going to happen as even high skill tech jobs will eventually be automated.
