I believe what makes the current iteration of technology making jobs redundant unique is the speed/frequency with which this is happening. In the past the process was slow enough for the next generation to train for the next set of skills that were required in the economy. It is very hard for a mature professional to change job tracks and certainly almost impossible for a whole society to do so several times in the typical lifespan of a person. This is what is happening with the pace of change/redundancy today and the effect that I foresee is revolt like conditions in many societies.
We are already witnessing this revolt/discontent in the US in this presidential cycle in my view. People are very angry and I fear it will only become worse in the coming years/decades as promised solutions by the new crop of leaders elected by angry people don't work out as expected.
