This is a nice story that omits one crucial detail of every such transition: the people who get automated away and the people who benefit from improved economy and standards of living are not the same people.

For the former, this is not a story of temporary hardships compensated in full by everything getting better few years down the line. For them, this is a story of life permanently derailed, their hopes and dreams destroyed, and the future of their kids taken away. They do not get to enjoy those promised benefits - they're too busy trying to salvage what little they can from their lives, after being suddenly dropped one or two levels down in socioeconomic class ladder.

The benefits? Sure, they come some years or decades later, and they're great for everyone else.
