As automation eliminates the jobs in factories in China (and possibly because of automation the production moving 'back' to being more local), China seems to be busy securing the supply lines for raw materials (for example by owning land where the mines are).
In the near future I think energy prices could be falling, which eventually might bring us very cheap clean water and automated production of for example vegetables.
Some are predicting the current level of health care could become really cheap through automation. Not sure if the coming advances would also get cheaper.
Anyway, affordable healthcare and cheap food and water production could be really helpful to prevent the worst things.
HOWEVER, it may take a while for our economy to self-correct by shifting resources to take advantage of that new capacity, or it may self-correct too slowly, and politicians will be reluctant to assist the change because it's uncharted territory with uncharted consequences.
That has already been going on for over a decade and most people have no idea:
If you do anything on your job which you can be automated, which is repetitive, those tasks will eventually be automated.
This does not automatically mean your job will be automated completely, but your job will change.
Or as Edsger W. Dijkstra said: higher level programming languages: People thought that those languages would solve the programming problem [make it easier]. But when you looked closely the trivial aspects of programming had been automated while the hard ones remained.
How about running: new hardware and old software. That is a good way to increase productivity (no loss of productivity getting used to new software and a speed boost form running newer hardware).
You go in to fix something, not make it worse. This requires a proper plan, which Bush did not have. Japan is an example of where US nation building worked. I would think.
Buy an iPhone to use iMessage ? Some people are crazy.
Funny little fact: most of these systems all use email or the phone number in some way. For example as identifiers or for password recovery, etc.
Why do you think that is ? Because it's universal: everyone has one. Why is that ? Because it's federated.
Obviously, none of these services wants to be federated, because in Silicon Valley it's all about how many users you have (locked into your ecosystem). Doesn't matter if you are making profit or ever will, as long as you have enough users investors will throw money at it.
This is why I think it would be good to keep the tickets in the repository or a second repository. Easy to replicate, easy to keep history, easy to backup.

I see very few low skilled jobs in our future.

An other tip: maybe the US should be a lot more careful with funding and giving locals military training (Al-Qaeda, ISIL).
Lots of, if not most, people these days use encrypted messages. That's what makes this funny.
While I kind of agree with your idea.
I life in a country where voting still seems to matter, to some degree. If I don't look at all I find it hard to make an informed decision.
Still Facebook is something everyone should quit.
It does show us again, how tools used and honed for commercial reasons can be used for other purposes.
Could it be: one of the things it shows is that technology is making things cheaper including labour.
Well, are you off the meth ?
Sounds about right, unless we can reduce the price of electricity, as some think we can. Imagine how that would help societies:

One of the big problems in the US is also regulatory capture. Try fixing that too.
The parent did say:
"It'll take time for that to become apparent"
It will be to late for a lot of people.
Most people have no idea what the impact of automation will be.
I 'like' this graph, it shows it very well what is going on:

Bla, bla, you are ignoring most of the fundamental research is funded not in the commercial space, but by the government.

Anything that increases productivity raises output, and therefore value, of the people producing. You'd expect that to make them richer.
Well, it doesn't make people richer. We are already living in that world for a while now and it's just not true:

(some products have become cheaper so maybe your buying power went up, but I doubt it)

Let me guess you live in the US ?
In Europe we do things differently.
Why is the number of millionaires a good measurement ?
How about quality of life, longer life and overall higher standard of living, good education, less stress, easier to get healthcare, etc. ?
Now try doing that not alone but with a wife and kids. Because that is the situation we are really talking about here.
Strange, but true, the keyword was in parentheses.
