We would have to change our education system, among other things.
why?
we're doing a good job of supplying tech to the world with our current one. plus with a less decentralized federal government, we'll have a more free market educational system and that will adapt much more quickly
it will just "leave out" the people who can't participate in the modern economy anyway

But the negative income tax, at least in theory, is an easier way of dealing with bureaucracy than the displacement of peoples.
how? it doesn't require a bureaucracy for people to leave. are you implying that, for a current example, honduras has a complex bureaucratic regime for emigration currently? of course not. they probably spend $0 on it

I'm glad the discussion about rent seekers and the stresses of technology on the modern economy came together in this thread.
I beleive the name of the game will be hyper specialized goods and services and that will require much easier entry and exit into small business and using the sharing economy for other sources of income. The goal should be the democratization of business and coporations.
Instead the old thinking governments do all they can to protect the big established players who'd rather not have more competition. So much for the free market right? Small Business and the agility to attack niche markets will be the backbone of the 21st century economy whereas manufacturing drove the 20th century. It's one place where the government certainly should and won't get out of the way.

You think we'll have a less decentralized government? I think with technological innovation one of the great dangers is the misuse by governments to increase oversight. Currently it is hard to imagine this federal government actually giving up oversight. Giving up power is not something governments tend to do.
Not only that, if the goal our of education system were to thrive in the technological state, then you'd have to introduce programming at much younger ages, you'd have to introduce programs to fix whatever breaks down, etc. That implementation process isn't easy, by any means.
With regard to people leaving, they would only leave if they had a place to go where they could improve their condition. That is by no means a guarantee. In the world you are envisioning, those that "produce" would be limited to a much smaller number of people. Also in this automated world, the wealth would be concentrated into fewer and fewer hands. I don't see how that could be sustainable, nor how "just leave" is an accurate solution. Of course I don't think the transition to a technological society will be uniform across the globe, but people won't migrate unless they have a reason to.
