Automation will definitely replace a lot of human jobs... and the whole traditional economic strategy of "retrain them" will no longer hold water, probably within 25 years... there simply will not BE enough that "needs doing" by the number of human beings who are available to work.

That leaves us with redefining what work is, to perhaps a point where "full-time" means 25 hours a week OR perhaps we move towards something that's exclusively a "Gig Economy" in which nobody's an employee and everyone just brokers out their particular niche skills on a contract basis through massive "job markets," and in the course of a year any given person my work doing the SAME job for 20 different companies.

I expect blockchain technology will be a part of the process, but we won't know that "we" have truly arrived until people stop talking about the underlying technology and instead focus on what you can DO with it. In a way, similar to how few people now talk about being "online" as a concept (it's not new anymore) they talk about what they can DO online.

And so, social self-branding becomes more and more important!
