I imagine each time the next step was obvious. This time not so much.

  It was far from obvious. The first transition spawned a huge amount of philosophical treatises on what to do when a lot of the jobs go away. Marx being the most well known. And even today the second transition is still not obvious to everybody. There are still a lot of people today who think jobs making stuff are "real jobs" and service sector jobs are lesser.
