People are so flip when they describe the massive changes of the past. The move from an agrarian rural economy to an urban industrial economy was arguably the most shocking thing that has ever happened to humanity. Ever. It still isn't over.
It amazes me that people are lackadaisical when it comes to the information age. Oh yeah, robots will take over. It will be great. No problems there. You would literally be supplanting yourself as the dominant species on the planet. Not to mention the problems that come with wealth transfer, and the subsequent socio-economic collapse that would come from basically disinheriting 99% of the world's population from ever being to contribute meaningfully to their own destiny ever again.
So yeah, it is a little more than "it sounds hard."
