So basically people who didn't, or couldn't prep for this will be 'effed. Not accusing you or something. Just thinking out aloud. I am/will be one of those people.
I actually have complex feelings about it as well.
The way I see it is that history is going to advance whether you like it or not and you might as well ride the wave.
I understand I'm lucky to be insulated from the crisis a bit, though. I do think once SWEs lose their jobs every other office worker is going to follow, so we're in the same boat.
I see. Thorughout the history there has been no such looming danger of mass unemployment looming and what comes with that. But I do also feel the same - eventually we will be in it together. And if that mass scale unemployment comes to pass, then it may lead to a bit of interesting times so to speak. But yeah, that insulation does make watching all this unfold in real time a bit less uncomfortable ;-)
I do still love technology and I'm a builder. I'm also neither a tech optimist or pessimist, but an inevitabilist. It's coming.
