You Will Be Fired in 2028

According to this article in TechCrunch Gartner Research says that millions of jobs will be replaced by Smart Machines within 15 years. Larry Dignan reporting in ZDNet cites the same report and says:
These machines will learn, adapt and automate decision-making on many levels. Humans will train and program these machines and then hand over their paycheck.
Automated and interconnected cars will replace private vehicles, public transport, and taxis. Advances in computerized translations will put translation and localization companies out of business. Online and/or digital books -and the Internet itself - are already rendering the neighborhood library irrelevant. Journalists are being replaced by smart-phone wielding bystanders.Welcome to Technological Unemployment.

But we've seen this movie before, and we know the answer: adapt.

They say that, in business, no employee is irreplaceable. Take a good look at your job. Within the next 15 years you might be handing it over to a machine.

But take heart. With the destruction of one industry, another is born. If you are ready, you will be able to embrace the change. If not, get ready to pay a call to your local unemployment office. Maybe the Unemploymentizer2000 will be able to find you a job.
