    Of course jobs are obsolete. Mass marketing/manufacturing is also obsolete. The very notion behind the word “deserve” in this context is obsolete. The concepts will totter on for a bit yet.

    Ruskoff’s “Program or Be Programmed” is pretty good, but it’s no “Four Arguments for the Elmination of Television” (which had three good arguments and one total miss). I have the paper version, if you’d like to borrow it.

    Thanks,

    Ole
