The internet is after your job

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/video/2014/oct/15/the-internet-is-after-your-job-video

This article emphasises how the internet is taking over even jobs of people in the middle class including lawyers, accountants and even doctors to some extent as there are so many facilities on the internet that act as an alternative for these proffesions. Applications have been made that allow people to interact with proffesional bodies virtually and therefore this is resulting in an increase in unemployment. The video also asks the viewer the question of how long will it be before there will be a real struggle to find a secure job.

I think that this video is very accurate and does have some causes for concerns and may make people think about how they have to adapt to new forms of technology just so they can get a job within the competitive market of the internet. It also creates a cause of concern about how secure jobs may be and as there is such an alternative, firms may not be able to compete with the free competitiors and therefor may have to shut down.
