Within the last week a LinkedIn post showed a block building being constructed by a machine. Note the look of surprise on the faces of these men.  In 1894. A little more than a century ago. They were probably pleased as punch to have a job – considering that 1894 was midway through an economic depression.  They were feeding their families. We are now well into the era of AI, artificial intelligence. Jobs like these are going to disappear along with hundreds of thousands of other services, from truck drivers to pizza makers and ditch diggers. Education and medical professionals will be out of a job as well. Unemployment is going to skyrocket and there will be no “bring my job back.” The future is coming very fast and, alas, no one is talking about the gorilla in the room. A little more than a century ago, in 1848, industrialization ravaged the working class of Europe.  1848 was known as the Year of the Revolution because every country in Europe had a revolution of workers. History is not the story of the past; it is the study of the future. [See my books at https://authormasterminds.com/master-of-the-impossible-crime.]
