For readers interested in the larger implications of
automating jobs that journalists and many other office workers do, I recommend this
brief post by economist Paul Krugman.
It’s a bit technical, but if you work through it the point
he is making should be clear.
If we are at the beginning of a widespread change that results in more
and more jobs being done by networks of high-speed computers, the wages earned
by good old-fashioned human beings will start to decline.
