The fear that technology will displace jobs had been around for centuries. Certain types of jobs might be eliminated but others are also created.

Unemployment rate in the U.S. in the 20th Century averaged around around 6%. So far the 21st century has averaged about the same or 6%. We've been through many cases of "technology X is going to put everybody out of a job". Industrial revolution, computer revolution information age/internet etc etc. Each of these were going to cause huge unemployment yet on average unemployment hasn't changed.
