In reply to McKinsey: automation may wipe out 1/3 of America’s workforce by 2030

For now I'd just like to add for those like me, who can't make rational sense of what year it is since we passed 2000:

In a new report, Cognizant, the IT services firm, identifies 21 jobs that, given economic and commercial trends, people could reasonably be expected to hold, like chief trust officer and man-machine teaming manager.

Why it matters: The key question of the age of automation is whether this time of technological disruption is different from all the others that have occurred over the last two centuries.
