> It will be a very long time until computer automation can replaced knowledge workers. At the moment, technology is making knowledge workers more effective and efficient.
I write software that makes knowledge workers redundant all the time -- by making everyone else more efficient.
Middle-tier knowledge job are disappearing all the time because software allows lower-level employees to do things they weren't able (or weren't allowed) to do before and makes higher-level employees so efficient they don't need those people to help them anymore.

From my experience that isn't the case; there's a glut of graduates who have useful skill sets for industries that need them.
