128. Running the robots
Every technology creates new jobs that never existed before.

Where do you draw the line? How many jobs were created by car manufacturers? More than existed for horse and buggy stuff. The population is far higher than it was in 1909. Yet even today, 90% is employed.

And yet people complain about not getting IT jobs. Well, those took from the people who made typewriters and the people who sold paper and ink that doesn't have to be used now.
