The following article is a few years old, but it is the best example that I have found for how to put the future of automation and jobs into perspective. Please read it before making a post. Is your job an endangered species (WSJ).pdf The following is an open-ended discussion and is meant to explore and expand on the ethical aspects of applying automation in services.
