It's happened once before with horses. During the industrial revolution horse-employment plummeted to the point that there were very few horses left laboring. IMHO, the most disruptive technical solution in the pipeline is self-driving cars. Once we enter the age of the "driverless carriage", the amount of unemployment that occurs will be unprecedented. People completely under-estimate how many industries are touched by automobiles. The industry I'm most curious about with respect to the downward ramp is medicine. The hollowing out and automation is likely to happen with doctors more than nurses. With that in mind, will doctors suffer the most or will they push out the nurses underneath them.
