- DavidWanjiru 10y agoWell, if this video [0] is anything to go by, most of the other jobs will be automated as well. And although I have no foresight to know how it will pan out, it looks like advances in technology (which have produced previously unimagined jobs for humans - hello, Android dev), advances in technology in this new age will only create new jobs for automatons, not for humans.

- xapata 10y agoUntil we hit the singularity, programmers can always get more meta -- thinking about how to do the job rather than doing the job, no matter what the job is. It's infinitely recursive. In the not-so-distant future, nearly all jobs will be programming jobs. That or shaking hands and smiling.
