Outside interference will most certainly be attempted.
Nobody leaves anything alone.
And yes,job losses will occur in some way from or fashion its surely expexted.
And with most large industries going more and more automated, where are the good jobs gonna be ?
Sorta defeating the purpose of making and having good jobs for people to be a buying consumer base market.
If you dont have jobs with good or above average pay ,how can you expect people to buy higher end products ?
All very true, though if a system is designed well you can make it pretty resilient against bugs and such. Hacking could be a problem as well, depending on how they design the system it could be vulnerable to hacking, one of the biggest weaknesses often is employees doing something stupid, like clicking a link and unleashing a virus, and in a lot of companies computer security is something of a joke (for example, in this day and age, a lot of financial firms have account numbers, ss #'s and the like, stored in human readable form, or when transmitted it is sent unencrypted), and far too many beancounters think it is a waste of money (not all companies are so stupid, but the credit card companies are notoriously bad, as are many banks, where I work we have a very vigilent computer security operation and all our systems are routinely tested for threats of all kinds, db weaknesses, through internet access, data in human readable form, you name it).
As far as the jobs and what happens, that is a good question, all I will say is those who have blind faith that good paying jobs will be created to replace those lost are more than likely to be on the wrong end of that, and leave it at that, one thing history has shown is that a lot of companies don't understand how supply and demand work versus wages (for fun reading, look up what industrialists thought of Ford raising wages to 5 bucks a day in the 1920's).
