Good points - I'm really curious to know more about how automation will affect those in poorer regions of the globe. We've already seen how repetitive actions (in the case of process automation) largely provided for the creation of wealth & the middle class in other countries - building stuff in factories, answering phones in call centers, etc.
Those traditional avenues for job creation may be wiped out so for many it may be like trying to climb a ladder with missing rungs. We in the western world may be able to adapt to different careers w/o too much trouble, but for someone that was just getting started building a widget in a Foxconn factory, getting immediately left behind in a very fast moving current could be extremely turbulent. Or, it could be the case that if you never tasted the fruits of stepping-stone work in the first place, you'll just have to find ways to adapt in other ways.
