Some skills will be more valuable than others

Begin quote Chapter 1 "Race Against the Machine"

So we agree with the end-of-work crowd that computerization is bringing deep changes, but we're not as pessimistic as they are. We don't believe in the coming obsolescence of all human workers. In fact, some human skills are more valuable than ever, even in an age of incredibly powerful and capable digital technologies. But other skills have become worthless, and people who hold the wrong ones now find that they have little to offer employers. They're losing the race against the machine, a  fact reflected in today's employment statistics

End quote from Chapter 1 of "Race Against the Machine"
