Do you agree that today’s technology is taking over people's jobs? It's true but what about the people that work in the IT industry etc.. This new industry created jobs while destroyed others, so in my opinion it's balanced so it is not taking over people jobs! But what about Google? and all the people that work with it... and what about all the other big websites with thousands of employees?

The purpose of creating new technology is to make things simpler, normally that means some jobs being eliminated for that purpose. But new jobs will always be created with that new technology and making that new technology will always be a job.

i couldn't agree more, there are jobs that are becoming fully automated, but new jobs open up for people too... so i think it balances each other out... but we wouldn't know what the future holds...

I agree i have just sold my offline business and now work online developing a social level marketing system, since this was put together just over a week ago we have had 52 people join up all paying 215 euros each to get our system and support.

If you would like more details please pm as this is purely by invite only and not open to the public yet.

Well the time passed and now everything is computerized. I can agree with you that people for example not send postcards with the help of the post office. They just do it with the help of Web. I think that computers will bring much unemployment.

I absolutely agree with this. And I wonder what will be in about 20-30 years when everything will be computerized? It's very hard question to answer.
