Important thing to remember is that "new opportunities", whatever they are, are neither for you nor your children to partake - they're for the people just entering the workforce. Those whose careers suddenly disappear, as well as their families and children, are too busy dealing with consequences of being suddenly thrown down a rung or three on the socioeconomic ladder.

Prediction is hard, especially of the future.

This isn't the first time they new technology has reshaped society, or even just the economy. How well were the results of prior things predicted ahead of time?
