Here in Silicon Valley we are currently worried about a major transportation strike, and I doubt many on either side yet realize that this is likely to accelerate the move to automate most of the related jobs. There is little doubt the problem we are currently seeing here will be virtually gone in a decade, but I doubt the workers will be very happy with the solution. Often we don’t anticipate the impact of a coming major technology. In fact, even companies that introduce the technology may not benefit from it in the end.
