o, this time around, the 'bots will be creating 'bots and then, will service them. This is the beginning of the end.
You will never live to see it.
That is my hope but I have a feeling that I'll see it in old age. - On 17 May 2013

Sweden was one of the few countries, unaffected by both World Wars, and had the strongest economy by the early 70s. Then, it went into full blown stagnation, as its policies were not sustainable.

As for welfare, it was avoidable for much of the time period from 1950 to 2010, when most able persons had the capacity for some paying work. This is where the old expression, 'Pull oneself up by the bootstrap', had some meaning because it was basically true.
However, starting from 2020 till 2070, when the means of development & production, move from humans to machine labor, ppl simply won't be getting paid for any work. If I'm an owner of a company, I'll assign expert systems to manage development, QA, production, and delivery. I'll even have a secondary expert system, to help tune the 1st one. Nowadays, database tuners earn $120 per hour as consultants. These will then be made obsolete, by secondary expert 'bots. In reality, I'll only need human salesmen to talk to other 'live' potential clients. Thus, with a headcount of 5% of today's employees, I could run an entire enterprise. - On 17 May 2013

The industrial revolution only replaced manual labor with intellectual labor (hence, intellectual capital became the standard for success in modern times).
AI/machine learning/'bots will attempt to replace most knowledge workers. IBM Watson project below, is only the starting point ...
