Bad examples. The worst examples are yet to come. Health!
We talk about health technology to save 100 billions of dollars or more in cost savings, EHR saving so much cost, etc. But what they don't talk about is these costs are coming at the expense of replacing human work. This is why I think we'll see continual increase of unemployment and underemployment. We moved to the service-based industry where machines can do many of the work.
