The ATM has been around for a long time; but every bank is still full of tellers.

For a while, no doubt. My mom is 78 and refuses to us an ATM because she thinks she will get robbed or her identity may be stolen so she will only go to the bank during business hours so she can talk to a person.
When I think it will really kick in is as younger people start to grow up and take over. The kids of today are born into technology so it doesn't feel strange to them to use a computer or piece of technology to get something. It's not going to happen today, tomorrow, next year, or even in the next decade, but I won't be shocked if in the not too far off future we find ourselves in a situation where we no longer have enough jobs for everyone who wants one and massive unemployment develops.
