There’s a trend in these failed predictions: New technology doesn’t fundamentally change the nature of humanity, the nature of work, or how much work there is to do. Or rather, it does so only very slowly.

Of course, the rate of change is speeding up, and there’s often short-term disruption; but if you take a course of not believing either the most dire or the most rosy predictions, you’re unlikely to go far wrong.
