Major leaps in technology always are disruptive to society. Some advance and find niches while others are left in the dust if they refuse to adapt. That is simply the way it works. Certain groups were bemoaning when the old street sweepers and chimney sweeps were put out of work. This is no different. People either learn to adapt to the new environment or they are just SOL. Workers need to see what is coming down the road and start making changes to meet the needs of the changes that are on the horizon rather than standing there with their pants down when it happens.
