Can do everything will not be the one replacing most unskilled jobs. Highly automated factories(think tesla) have been replacing unskilled jobs for almost a decade now, which is the reason manufacturing is coming back to US again. Service industry is also being targeted next (pizza) etc. Regarding plumbing, carpenter etc. more and more manufacturing will move to huge automated factories or 3d printers. Like the electronics revolution, we'll move to buying new stuff instead of repairing.
