One day jobs will be a thing of the past. How will our current society adapt when we reach a point that we are so productive that we don't need everyone to work?
As idyllic as that sounds, they've been predicting that since the start of the industrial revolution and the trend has continued in the opposite direction.
Manufacturing desires and trumping economic needs over social goods is so entrenched now that I doubt most people would choose a more relaxed lifestyle over the next shiny bauble dangled in front of them.
I wish it were not so, but I see little to no evidence to the contrary.
