I don't mind robots doing our jobs, in fact, it's great. but the sad thing is that the technological improvements are mainly for personal gain and not for the benefit of mankind.

If they would use the decreased prices of labor and increased production rate to supply the whole world with the goods they need, instead of decreasing prices and increasing production to enrich a few individuals, the world would already look so much better.

Ever since the industrial revolution, planned obsolescence has become more and more common.
