The difference is now we actually have the technology to make it happen. I was a teenager in the 1980's and I remember everyone talking about how computers were going to take everyone's jobs. However, computers, the internet etc all enhanced our lives and ability to do things. Yes, they took some jobs, but they created many more. Automation isn't the same. It's not done to help enhance us and make us better, it is done to replace us.
It's not going to happen tomorrow or next year, but I won't be shocked if we see a collapse of the job market in the next 20 years as we start to find ourselves in situations where there simply aren't enough jobs for all the people who want one.
