I am not convinced that computers will ACTUALLY REPLACE ALL jobs. Technology could get advanced to do all that humans are accomplishing today, but that doesn't mean that humans will not be doing any jobs any more. There are 2 main problems I see in that
1) Historically technology has created more jobs than it has destroyed.

One BIG difference, technology till now has been designed to aid humans, not replace them. But I think that technology will shift a lot of jobs in another sector but will not bring the sum of human brains needed to run it to 0.
2) Society will not be so nice to organisations taking away ALL its jobs. There will be a huge friction from society when they loose out ALL their jobs at this scale, it could vary from small riots to some new age guerrilla warfare. It will be interesting to see how politicians will react when they loose their jobs to computers though.
