As hard as it may be to believe I actually heard some intelligent discussion on this topic this morning on @MSNBC @morning_joe where it was stated that we are heading to an economy where 80% of people will have nothing to do. That may be a bit extreme but our educational and governmental institutions need to be preparing now for the impending digital revolution. Unlike the industrial revolution this one will not produce the same quantity of good paying jobs to employ the masses. I wrote this last year in response to the Baltimore riots but the content is still relevant. Smart machines enjoy full employment, but what about people? Smart machines, deep neural networks, robots, packages that know exactly where they are going, delivery drones.
