This is an overly fantastic crystal-ball piece and I don't expect things will be as far changed as this article is trying to sell us.
It reminds me of those old AT&T "You Will" commercials, which did eventually come true but in a vastly different way than first envisioned (newspapers by fax? come on.)
Also, most people (baristas, truck drivers, all those invisible service people and laborers in between) don't have jobs that look like this. This completely dismisses their experiences.
- Trasmatta 6y agoYeah, this is pretty ridiculous. I'm putting a reminder for 2025 to reread this piece to see if literally any of it came true.
- ImaCake 6y agoLots of educated professionals also work jobs that cannot be done at home. I think this BBC article is ridiculous. I can't do wetlab biology at home. And my university is busy firing people, not installing copper benchtops in the kitchenettes.
