Software Test Optimization Review:

25 years ago, aka pre-Y2K, a majority of testing was manual and automated testing was to me was in its infancy.  Yes, automated testing has been around since the 70s, but it was not the norm.  Today automation should be the norm and should be a majority of your test cases and test resources, but as this article states manual testing is still needed and should be at a minimum 10-20% of your test COVERAGE.  Validation or acceptance testing, as well as verification of the highest value and risk functional coverage, should have manual coverage.
