We are looking at some big changes in the near future. Once again, machines are replacing people en masse and we just can't quite see what the future holds.
You don't know what the future holds so don't put too much stock in predictions. Rather, develop a deep love of learning and of the fundamentals, and develop an insatiable urge to push at the outer edges every chance you get. Those are two things machines will never know to do, no matter how complex they get.
For example, here is some pretty good analysis I read the other day:
"Software development is growing fast. Learning to code is easier than ever, and soon enough we will be in a survival-of-the-fittest environment. But the developer who survives is not going to be the developer who first learned about the cool new framework. It's going to be the developer who asked himself what's new about it and what's different this time. If you want to stay up to date with technology stacks, then stop worrying so much about being up to date and start hacking."

Be fearless. Keep learning. Keep hacking.
