I also think it is inevitable. And although I am generally an optimist when it comes to technological development in the future, I can't help but be scared and frustrated sometimes. I am currently in graduate school and I'm afraid that by the time I'm done there will be a robot that could be programmed to know everything I know about my subject (and probably every other subject) and also be able to do independent research more efficiently and better than my own. That leaves me scared of what my future is. I think it is quite analogous to what blue collar workers must have felt to varying degrees throughout the 19th and 20th centuries as machines "took their jobs" (south park voice).
