Ten years from now, robotics, AI, and silicon get good enough that we have a massive robotic revolution, mirroring the Industrial Revolution. Robotics takes the labor out of virtually all production, making capitalism obsolete.
The productivity of Capitalism is replaced with creativity. With our World awash in "stuff" too cheap to matter, corporations shrink and disappear, replaced with small groups mirroring today's open source communities.
That's just off the top of my head. Today's TV and movie sci-fi are far from challenging the limits of anything.
And yeah, this is from a guy with the handle of Capitalist.
Judging from today state of the art AI - creativity would be automated much earlier than dumb physical jobs.
We already have pattern matching and theorem proving software, I think that throwing sheer computing power at hard problem where strict criteria for correctnes are defined would be cheaper than human problem solver.
On the other hand mechanical and interfacing side of robot revolution seems to lag after AI research. Teaching robot to run is hard problem, brain has many layers of hardware for doing this, and it's easier to make new human, than it is to make new robot.
All in all I predict the exact opposite - unskilled workers will have jobs, creativity in many cases would be automated.
