6 new technology rules that will govern our future

In every field, machines and robots are beginning to do the work of humans. We saw this first happen in the Industrial Revolution, when manual production moved into factories and many millions lost their livelihoods. New jobs were created, but it was a terrifying time, and there was a significant societal dislocation (from which the Luddite movement emerged). The movement to digitise jobs is well under way in low-salary service industries. Amazon relies on robots to do a significant chunk of its warehouse work.
