Programming will be the Last Job on the Planet

The world is evolving toward a situation where smaller and smaller groups and perhaps even individuals determine the future. It seems to me that programmers are in a position where they might be the last people on this planet to determine the future.

Another way of putting that is that if you think about jobs that have become irrelevant over time because of greater automation and greater incorporation of computers, it seems to me that programming is quite possibly the last job that people on this planet will have.
