'it's hard to have a good response to the "computers are taking all our jobs" argument'
I don't think people really care about having a job. They care about being able to put bread on the table. (For various degrees of "bread", as "wants" can be psychologically infinite.) So, long term, the answer will be "yes, sure. And that's a good thing. You'll have what you have now, with no need to work."
Going from here to there, is very likely to be bumpy, though.
And finally, "not working" doesn't mean "not doing anything", as many people assume.
