Yea my dad isn't the best example. He had a business partner that was refusing to buy the expensive scanners and 3d printers because the business partner didn't want to make the investment in new technology. They stayed old school and went out of business.
It's probably more of an example of how not to handle this sort of situation. Instead of being afraid of or avoiding the technology coming for your job, embrace it and figure out how to thrive with/alongside it.
