"I'd guess more white collar jobs have fallen prey to technology (back office computer apps) in recent times."

AI seems to be experiencing a rebirth these days, with a lot of commercial applications coming online. Look out white collar dudes! IBM has a question-answering system that can beat Jeopardy pros, and is being sold to corporations for use inhouse and as a phone help system to replace those awful question trees.

Got a question? Ask this machine instead of wandering around interrupting your co-workers..
