Get some torches and pitchforks? Seriously, what do you think will happen when we have millions who lose their jobs due to automation?


Same thing that happened when manual switchboard operators lost their jobs to PBX, or manual typesetters lost their job to linotypes?


Same thing as been happening for the last 50 years as automation has vastly replaced human labor, without bringing about the revolution?

Or in other words, people will get a different job, and there will be winners and losers, but on AVERAGE everyone's lives will be way better (as has been proven for the last 50 years).
