Both things you have described are undoubtedly good for the humanity! But as I wrote earlier, in current economical system all benefits from the automation will go to capital owners (most of them are simply greedy banksters who even don't know what their business are doing, they just hire CEO to rule the corporation and demand profit-profit-profit from him) - so why they voluntary will decide to reduce your working day to 1 hour or give away fully-automated factory which can let you live "like a king, or a god"!?
Why don't cellphones still cost $2,000 and cellphone plans cost $0.35 per minute?
