If we look back tech jobs have been growing fast since at least the 90s.
We have basically put everything on computer and the internet in the last decades with some obvious efficiency gains. But how far should we continue to invest in this and expecting a return on investment?
At the same time, in the west, agriculture or manufacturing jobs have been annihilated. Could they see that coming?
Probably no as it was not that obvious from their point of view.
At least in the west, first world or whatever you want to call it, most people need cheaper housing, cheaper energy, less taxes and bureaucracy. This is just what most young people complain about.
People do not complain they need more computers, smart thing or self driving cars. They might actually need less of this but still consume it because it is in fact the things they can afford.
Also in the EU there is a growing and undeniable regulatory framework which is destroying the local tech industry.
What I mean is we could see the type of shift that you only see once in a lifetime. Where computer tech see the same fate as agriculture and manufacturing had.
Hard to tell if this is just a hiccup or the start of the destruction of the tech jobs market.
That's the way I see it too. All that AI crap isn't going to make our lives any better. It even might have the opposite effect. Few people are getting super rich while everyone else just suffers.
Previous tech revolutions like PC, internet or Iphone let anyone participate and the benefits were pretty obvious. Now, less so.
