Interesting stuff. I am curious about the future and disappearance of jobs too. Normally this applies to low wage jobs, but with the advent of blockchain I am seeing large corporations being made obsolete entirely when blockchain variants enter the scene and outcompete them. It will be CEO's, administrative workers, HR departments, lawyers, accountants, etc. as well as the low wage workers who are employed by tech giants.
On the flipside, maybe by then we will all be making money by default by our participation in the blockchain ecosphere earning income 'passively' with things such as Steemit or other platforms?
yea manual labor jobs requiring machines to do. Human capital jobs not only require less machines but perhaps more computation, but usually pay more so replacing them is more profitable.
I think you nailed it. It isnt only the blue collar and low wage jobs that are affected. The upcoming employment problem will be experienced by what is left of the middle class. This is really going to start turning some heads. It is easy to ignore those in rural areas or at the low end of the spectrum. However when people making decent money cant find work, then people will start to notice.
As for the solution, without breaking the surprise of my next article, I think blockchain can help. That said, I am not sure how many will be able to take advantage of it. And I am sure the FB abd Google will keep their stranglehold to some degree. They arent about to let steemit, as an example, come in and clear their clock...not without a fight anyway.
