It's sad I know. I'm not going to make light of a situation like this. But the jobs are disappearing because of a whole other phenomenon called contraction. Like the movie, we've taken growth too far as a society. Look at government spending. You wanna see major pain, wait until those dominoes topple.

Soylent Green is people.
Eventually the dregs of society will be turned into a food source. Because what else are we gonna do with them?
What won't happen without a complete global failure is the reversion of manufacturing into a 1930's manual operation. Automated Systems are here to stay as long as electricity sticks around. Automating a factory will only prolong it's demise, that means saving some jobs instead of losing all jobs. That's the real concern. Like I said, I would gladly step down and start from scratch to give the world steady and safe growth, but it's not an option.
Also, I am not a really smart guy, if I can figure this robot stuff out I'm pretty sure everyone handy/practical can as well. It's no crazier then wiring up a car stereo or swapping out a rear diff. Programming is no harder than running a forum
