Years ago, MS talked about a subscription model, and as time
progressed, more/more programs gravitated in this direction.

I believe this tech industry is attempting to get a toe hold, which
requires dumping humans.  They have essentially reached the end of
tech innovation, and are looking for greener pastures.

With advances in tech, the human workforce has been reduced in various
industries, but other neo-industries brought about more employment.

I'm not aware of any neo-industry(ies) which will employ millions
fired, laid off, etc.  

Where is this new frontier for employment....There's the rub...as tech
replaces the human workforce, then, the economy will implode.
