In response to Man Versus Machine posted by Normxxx:

Think of how many typist jobs were lost simply due to MS Office. Secretaries used to spend all their time organizing meetings between engineers and others on the teams I worked on in the mid 1990's and I think software has this mostly automated now.

Even engineers were told back in the early 1990's that the only way to keep a good job was to learn new skills.

Don't forget too that $10 an hour buys you an undocumented worker you can hire at most busy streets I'm told. We sure have them up and down El Camino Real in the Bay Area.
