So it's funny to me that people are only just coming to this revelation. The math is simple enough - More automation = fewer human jobs; the population continues to grow; more people and fewer jobs = a decreasing jobs/people ratio. So either we stop having sex right now and let the population shrink, but that's too slow and politicians need those votes now! Or we can decide to ship all foreign computers to their countries of origin, because they are the immigrants taking our jobs. Or, and this is a radical solution so bear with me, or we can decide that jobs aren't the most important thing in the whole wide world and find another metric for a successful society. I think the computer deportation thing is the best plan.
