Cyberspace events are of the highest importance in social and behavioral sciences because the boundaries of the theory of economics and social sciences change the source of humanity's changing values ​​of nations and the division of human labor. For a long time- more than three hundred years- inspired by Adam Smith, "employment" as the source of wealth and national power, on the one hand, and as a unique tool for the distribution of wealth, on the other, was at the center of all economic and social analyses. But today, the regulation and distribution of employment is not the center of economic measures and policies, and this role has been shifted to the distribution of education and creativity, and consequently, the national supply of power and the distribution of wealth and prosperity and relief. Our principle in analyzing the sociology of issues arising from the advent of cyberspace is the recognition of the presence of machines in the social life; and in response to the six main questions of the issue, which was inspired by John Stern, it has been reflected in thirty-three aspects. The article is concluded with the necessary theoretical shifts around the future without employment. The future without employment, relation of declining employment with technology, reflections on the maturity of automation, the future of limited employment, education of future creative generation, disability of the elderly, and transformation of service sector are the most important topics of essential theoretical transformations.
