Recently, news like 'automation cuts certain jobs' in the future is going through the internet. Probably this is far from reality. Indeed, automation has been there since time immemorial from the inception of the wheel. Every time with each invention and innovation, the world moved ahead creating more jobs and growth. For example, the textile workers in Europe feared the newly arrived sewing machines would cut their jobs during the Industrial Revolution. But the result turned out to be a different one boosting the production, employment, and the invention being a part of changing the course of the world. The ones who were left behind are the ones who cannot grasp the change (probably with reasons).
The same happened during the dot-com boom in the 2000s. But the IT industry grew more, creating lakhs of jobs, and will continue to grow further creating a digital revolution. Of course, there will be staggering periods for every industry, but this too will pass on like the old ones opening doors to the new avenues.
