The Luddites were wrong.  People found new and better jobs after the steam engine replaced human power.  But the information revolution is different.

"In the 1980s, eight per cent of new jobs created in the developed economies were in entirely new occupations, from call centres to computer programmers.  In the 1990s, only 4.4 per cent of the new jobs involved newly invented occupations.  In the 2000s, only half a percent did." - Gwynne Dyer
