Historically, automation has improved and even saved lives. It has made lives easier, more efficient, more enjoyable and extended our lifespans.
And yet every time there is another step forward there are screams and gnashing of teeth, people proclaiming "What will become of us!".
Would anyone want to give up their clothes washing machine, vacuum or central heating?
Aren't we all (commutards of El Reg) employed to automate a wide range tasks?
The best way forward, in my opinion, is to plan the help and support in re-skiling of those that the latest round of automation has made redundant rather than running around declaring "We're all doomed! DOOMED I tell ye!!".
Biting the hand that feeds IT
