I guess I just don't get the big deal. I mean, sure, people will lose jobs I suppose, and they don't want to, hence the resistance. But this has happened tons of times throughout history and industries evolve. Off-hand, I can think of half a dozen 'industries' that existed in my grandparents day which are now either marginal (corset makers, for instance, who likely solely service the film industry now) or vastly changed (horse and buggy is now a car, they had no washing machines or dishwashers). Heck, my grandparents used to routinely employ a guy whose sole job was to deliver milk to people's iceboxes!
Progress happens. You either roll with it and find a new niche, or you go out of business, but trying to stop it is like saying we should still be using horse and buggies because otherwise the carriage makers will be out of business.
