When exactly did a robot or a software application start gunning for your job?

Was it when Apple and Samsung supplier Foxconn announced in May that it had replaced 60,000 factory workers in China with robots?

Was it when fast-food giant Wendy’s announced that same month that it would replace cashiers with automated kiosks for taking customers’ orders at its restaurants?

Or was it when global shoemaker and sports apparel firm Adidas said in late 2015 that it would pilot a new automated manufacturing process in a facility called a Speedfactory?
