Does automation create more jobs than it kills? Some say we’re not automating fast enough, others that there is a race for jobs between computers and humans.

Of course, Netopia has also elaborated on this topic and came to the conclusion that there is no fate but what we make, as The Terminator would have put it. In fact, the question of robots taking jobs brought Netopia to the airwaves, commenting on Euronews earlier this autumn (watch it, it’s only two minutes!): http://www.euronews.com/2015/09/04/technological-change-a-nettle-that-must-be-grasped-says-expert/
