Automation has been going on for a long time and few people cared because it was only manufacturing jobs that were being lost. Now, the next wave will be doctors, lawyers and accountants and everyone is starting to pay attention.
No, I'm not ready and head is firmly in the sand. I'm just hoping accounting profession will last another 20-30 years, but I know that chances are good it won't. 
Yes and no. Computer jobs have been offshored (which isn't the same I know, but analagous) as well as legal jobs and nobody cares so much. If you add that family farming is being phased out then you have something of a picture. And the idea of a basic income too: all of these amount to mass job loss and brings us back to the reality that we sell ourselves in the market every day, and demand can go away quickly.
