(Reddit) The First Wave Of Mass Technological Unemployment
What do you think will be the first country and industry to automate that job looses will be so great that it will be impossible to ignore, and what will be the response of governments/citizens?

I think automation will reach most areas of the economy eventually in some way or another. Small scale technological unemployment may not initially even seem like a serious threat. Most of us witnessed as the movie rental industry became pretty much fully automated, But what will be the big changes that makes people really take automation serious? (Reddit user helippe)
...thoughts?
 
The new show humans explains it pretty well. Eventually why should a new generation of kids become surgeons and spend years achieving that goal when we will have robots doing it for us. I am just glad eventually I will not be that sad generation when they realize they have no future. If society does not go through a modern day dark ages by then. I am betting on a collapse before we get automation that good.
 
i told you...

humans are getting more and more dependent and lazier on technology...

technology is and has been taking jobs away from humans...
