Supercomputer Watson from IBM is already giving medical advice for cancer treatment. On average his human counterparts are familiar with approximately 8 to 10 different cancer treatments.

For cancer patients this could make a significant difference in the battle between life and death. IBM Watson can deal with all this. A doctor possibly can’t.

Post-industrial society
The economy undergoes a transition from the production of goods to the provision of services.
Knowledge becomes a valued form of capital, see human capital.
Producing ideas is the main way to grow the economy.
Globalization & automation leads to a decline in the prevalence and value of blue-collar & manual labour and a rise in the prevalence and value of professional workers (e.g. scientists, creative-industry professionals, and IT professionals)
