This is an old question in economics, but undoubtedly relevant now:

"Is this new technology change different or similar to other technology changes?"

In other technology changes, there are hundreds of jobs that disappear, but hundreds that appears...and, as far as I know, we haven't observed an increase in joblessness in the last, say 30-50 years. We went through the industrial revolution, the invention of personal computers and a big etc and it didn't happen.

Is this one different? I don't have an answer, but I don't think the answer is obvious.
