One thing that really scares me about the digital revolution is that people are not needed to conduct business. One electronic book can be sold to millions of people with no human involvement.

The server that the ebook resides on does not set up, maintain, and upgrade itself. The code written to provide the "storefront" functionality does not write itself (or upgrade and improve itself). Nor does the carpet in the room where the physical hardware resides sweep itself. The "digital revolution" may alter, re-prioritize, and/or relocate its "Human Resources", but it doesn't eliminate them.
