You're right that the Industrial Revolution was incredibly violent and cruel, but that's not the point "Marc" was trying to make. He was trying to say we're destroying and creating jobs all the time, so nothing to see here.

What we're doing, now, is destroying whole sectors of the job market.

It has happened before, yes! -- but it was horrible then, and it will be horrible now (and now we have youtube, which they didn't have in the UK or India in the 19th century).
