This feels like the second technological revolution. I remember my Dad in the 1970's working with some of the largest companies to update all their old analog stuff with the new shiny computer databases. The stories he told me for years just blew my mind.
I figure the 70-90's were the first wave, this is easily going to be the second wave. It will have all the disruptions and human job loss, frantic movement of people to other industries and a ton of other misery just as the first one did.
Full disclosure: I'm also in automation. I'm currently doing RPA (Robotic Process Automation) development and our team is swamped with requests from teams who are trying to cut the fat out of their departments and reduce head count to try and save the company billions over the next five years.
