**XT** posted this in the GD thread [What happens when the robots (peacefully) take over?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=637834), but I thought it would be great to include here as well:

I was going to post this in IMHO or another forum but saw this thread pop back up again on the radar so figured I’d post it here. Basically, this series talks about the future of automation and what jobs are likely to be automated in the near future and what the impact of those may mean. There are 4 videos in the series that discuss different aspects, I think they are all about 15 mins or so. It’s interesting stuff even if you know a bit about this. If you don’t’ know that much about it it will really help.
