Right, this is why we don't have thousands of unemployed horse drawn buggy drivers milling about at street corners. The new jobs created by automation far exceed, in number and quality, the old jobs that are deprecated. Though it's fairly rare for an old job to completely go away, mostly they are transformed. We still have truck and taxi drivers, but now they can transport far more goods and people more rapidly over much greater distances.
I sometimes wonder what I would have done I didn't work in IT. Since I programmed my first computer at aged 13 there's really nothing else Ive wanted to do.
