Robots will replace 50% of today's occupations

More than half of the human race could be unemployed in 30 years time as job vacancies are filled by machines, a leading computer science has predicted.
There will also be a revolution in the traditional workplace. The rows of desk and mazes of cubicles we have today will be mostly gone by 2030. Not because they are not fit for purpose, but simply because that purpose will no longer exist.
The future workplace will be designed around activity-based working. “This was defined by a variety of quiet retreats as well as collaborative settings, best suited for work at that particular moment — in other words, ‘places to work,’ not ‘workplaces,’ ” continued Human Resources Online.
In order to prepare for the occupational shift, employees need to be creatively and socially intelligent.
