Just something interesting to think about. Thanks to the Internet, we can do many things with just a click. For example, requesting shuttle services. Requesting those services online in case you have no way to go to an airport or just to move around a city you don't live at. And what kind of vehicles do shuttle companies normally use? SUV's, limousines, Sedans, Vans, etc. And for a good reason, of course, seeing that these vehicles are perfect for transportation at any place people request. Very convenient. For example, if you have to go to, say, Los Angeles, but don't know how to move around there, you can just as easily request a shuttle to lax online and, no matter how far you are from the airport, you'll get there easily instead of having to wait and take a taxi. And it's not just shuttles either, of course. Booking airplane tickets, communicating with people in any part of the world in the comfort of your own home, creating and managing businesses online, working at home with only needing a laptop, making a living thanks to You Tube, Wi fi, USB's, heck, even bringing down dictatorships (Like in Egypt a few years ago) and many more huge changes that the Internet has created. It really is incredible, isn't it? Things are easier to do now than in previous generations. But one wonders (Like me), where will the world really go from here? A lot of things are precisely becoming automated. How far will this automation phase go, exactly? Will cars become completely automated as well, no longer needing drivers and putting taxi drivers and the like out of a job? Will automation completely take over companies, no longer needing humans to work there? If that happens, what will humans do then? Who knows, but we should pay close attention to the changes that are coming every time. Faster changes are occurring every time in our society thanks to the Internet. What do you guys think, in general, about all of this? Do you really think that machines and computers might eventually take over most jobs that people do?

Personally, I'm not entirely sure myself, but I like to think that there are some jobs that only people can do.

Maybe break your post down into paragraphs, since it's a bit hard to read as just one long wall of text, dude. Especially on mobile.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
