Technology doesn't kill jobs.
Over last two hundred years, the number of people on Earth exploded off the chart. We went from 1 billion to 7 billion. If anything, overall improvement in technology always create more jobs than it destroyed them. Most dramatic example comes from going from 6 billion to 7 billion in just 10 years or so. We still don't have dramatic increase in unemployment that reflect this whopping 1 billion increase.
Technology always generated new problems people have to figure out that demands skills and human creativity. It creates jobs in areas that once weren't even thought of before.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but please realise that most of those 1 billion new people were born to China, India, and developing nations, where there is, indeed, massive unemployment.
