New technology almost always has a downside for some group or groups.
Would you rather such advances not become reality?


No.. but how will we all pay for new toys if we are on the bread lines
or
slicing baloney at Stop & Shop for a living ?

The point is that any industry is always at risk. There is no
guarnteed life expectancy for almost any endeaver. The PC has
knocked down the number of secretaries needed to support
engineering groups. The auto all but eliminated blacksmiths.

But each also created new work. If the worker was smart enough to see it
coming, they started preparing for the new application before it totally
killed off the old. We may not have blacksmiths but the body shops keep
pretty busy.
