So far, the adam smith theory of wealth and the growth of wealth continues to be right. It is uncountable- the numbers of times people have declared an economy dead or dying. There will be more and different jobs, jobs weve never heard of or imagined, and people will learn to work those jobs. Information age has given way to a space age, like an age of the first industrial revolution gave way to the Technological revolution. Basically think of a world moving at 5-9 knots suddlenly moving at 12-20knots. Rope beaters turned to steel smelters. Square rigged moving to full rigged moving to steam ships.
Pilots turning to Astronauts? OK, I understand what you are saying. Do you see it becoming a traffic jam down to 3-4 lanes? Example, there will be less "professions" to chose. 1. programmer 2. material recycling 3. transportation (whoops already being conquered in this thread). 4. ???Astronaut travelers??? I mean... the whole restaurant industry could have been nearly shut down with technical robotics of the 1980's. However, I am only familiar with 2 complete automated restaurants which exist in Japan today. Could they have been completely automated in the 80's? Maybe not! I think of the oil field with no hate or in favor of but when something smashes into it to take it's place, regardless if you believe it can happen right now, just imagine the so called "j-o-bs" lost. It's the only thing keeping on this treadmill way of thinking of "but it creates jobs".
Ha, sorry my apologies. I think of this way too often hence my stage name. Let's talk about flying in this era?
