It seems to me that we are coming on a different paradigm of work. It makes sense in the industrial revolution to have assembly line like working. Where workers are "cogs in a wheel". But now we have tons of tools to do those strict tasks. After all, every programmer says you should program repetitive tasks.

So what do we shift to? A wider job duty and more creativity? Creativity is the thing that machines still fail at the most and (as far as I know) currently impossible to automate.
