I wouldn't say that technology is replacing people. I would say that it is changing people's roles. We recruit for a wide variety of positions and industries. Even those employees still need to have some computer knowledge or be open to being trained. What's happening is that people are coming to us with job experience, but they have outdated skills.
Many employees are in the same traditional jobs, but are performing different functions.
I think there are some blue-collar workers who are justified in feeling threatened. Technology touches so much, and it will touch so much more in the future, that it will be very difficult to find good-paying jobs with just a high school diploma. The best advice I can give anyone is that even if you're not a high-tech junkie, you must be at least comfortable working with a computer. Many corporations have always had the luxury of having as many people as they need to get a task completed. Small businesses have never had that luxury.
