It's a relevant question, since scientists now predict that 50% of (current) jobs will be automated in 30 years from now -not even that far...
Of course, many new jobs will be created in the meantime (more on this in the next post). There is a much need to panic for our collective future as there was seeing the first steam engine -many did see the ned of the future in it. However, as with all periods of great (in this case perhaps huge) transition, it will impact great parts of society in a negative way. It is likely that robotics and artificial intelligence will move up the societal ladder in their job destruction path, increasing the gap between rich and poor, between the 'have's end the have not's'.
If governments still want to be relevant in the coming decades, they will need to find an answer to this challenge as well...
