I feel that this article is based on beliefs that are optimism rather than empiricism or rational extrapolation, and trains of thought driven way into highly simplified territory.
Basically like the Lesswrong, self-proclaimed "longtermists" and Zizians crowds.
Illustrative example: Categorizing nannies under "human touch strongly preferred - perhaps as a luxury". This assumes automation is not only possible to a degree way beyond what we see signs of, but that the service itself isn't inherently human.
