Twenty years ago, Jeremy Rifkin estimated that about 75% of jobs in industrialized countries included tasks that could be at least partially automated, and as artificial intelligence and engineering improves, that number keeps getting higher.


No more jobs for the simple reason that it's not necessary for everybody to work! 

If in a small closed village where everybody is a farmer and produces some vegetables& grains if someone buys a Tractor he will produce enough for everybody very cheaply. That is the problem of automation. Soon you have excess production of everything!

What to do about this?
