Are you arguing that technology never forces people out of their jobs?
Note that even if the total number of jobs stays fixed, it doesn't follow that the same people are doing them. They might end up doing something better, or something much worse, or just die and get replaced by a new generation with different skills. There are many examples from history going in either direction.
- imgabe 2y agoThe total number of jobs increases. Logically, it has to. Population increases. There are more people now than there were in the past and there is not massive unemployment, so there must be more jobs than there were before.
