This fascinating TED talk explains the current trends in productivity and profitability with a comparative lack of growth in jobs per capita.

Guiding this change will be a distinctly 21st century issue and this talk explains, with extensive use of economic, population, and historical data, how computing advances will radically alter our futures.
