10 years ago, if you were able to watch high quality TV and use the commode at the same time, odds are you were in a household with an income in the top 98% of any given developed economy.

Today, I know inner-city kids that can do this with Netflix and a tablet.

So I absolutely agree that we can't predict what kind of change is coming, which is why I disagree with this statement:

Creativity, subjective cultural judgment and empathy would still be there, but we can’t all become entertainers, art critics and psychologists.

Entertainers and therapists have historically only had the affluent as their clients, but distribution technology and efficiencies in other realms makes hiring these professionals more accessible all the time. Seeing a therapist or discovering a new pop star is no longer something relegated to the wealthy.

And I've always made my biggest earnings gains by making entrepreneurial moves. Automation and globalization absolutely benefit the entrepreneur. A person flipping burgers for $8/hr could buy a grill and 5x their income and easily run the administrative part of their new venture from a smart phone. If you're living in an economy that gives an advantage to the owners of the means of production, then the means of production is a good investment.

Plus you could also use it to watch TV on the commode.
