This is a great post. The link at the end of the post gives a great insight of what kind of jobs are going to become obsolete for a human to pursue.
What I think is some of those jobs are already automated in lots of countries. And there are some jobs that are falling in high risk bracket, however, that's not going to happen. For example, poeple argue that in future, waiters will be replaced by Robots and I feel that this is highly unlikely.
But we shouldn't worry about it as creating robots are creating more jobs for us and pushing human being from being simple to more complex creatures and think better so its like being competition with someone else and hence pushes us further!
Planet Money did a series of podcast episodes on this which were quite interesting (there were some low points there too, but on the whole I think the series of episodes came out at a net positive).
