The trend of mechanized work has been happening slowly for a long time now, however, what is important is the rate of job mechanization vs. the rate of job training/education. If job mechanization happens faster than job creation we experience unemployment. To compound this, not only are we mechanizing jobs faster than before, but job mechanization tends to eat up the jobs that take the least training first. So not only are we losing jobs for people to do, but the jobs we have left require an increasing amount of training. So, even if we come up with new doodads to buy, any of the human work that will go into making them will require an increasing amount of training.
