Reading through the comments, I was surprised that almost no one seemed to question the basic problem, the business world's trending desire to replace people with automation. Why not try standing up for the value of people? Why not advocate with the businesses you deal with to hire people for you to be served by, rather than machines? Why not pursue policies at the business you work at that encourage the employment of people? Doing so contributes to society as a whole, with fellow humans who feel engaged and invested in the common good. Letting the trend play out leads to increased income inequity with an increasingly smaller number of technocrats and their bankers at the top. There is no host of unemployed robots asking for work. An automated future is not unavoidable destiny but the result of a myriad of decisions that can be decided in multiple, different ways. Education can help by pointing these options out, by educating people as citizens, as humans with souls who have the shaping of the world in their charge and reducing the number of those using, for example, a dissertation writer for their writing needs.
