It's seems to me as more things become automated the more work I have to do.
Technology seems to increase my production but now I must produce more work to compete in the market place. I must continually learn new skills every year based on upgraded technology. If I don't keep up then the new kid on block will take my work. What use to take 3 people now only takes 1 to do the same job. But that comes with a price.
But there is no question that through technology life has become much easier historically. Now we have time on our hands to sit around messages boards and complain to one another without worrying about how or where we find our next meal.

Maybe you have to do more work, I agree with that, but it used to be done by 2 people but now you're expected to be able to do it yourself because we have technology. It's funny this even hurts jobs like lawyers because with less economic expansion there is less for people to argue about and seek advice from lawyers for.
