But what happened? Now, we can't even go to the bathroom without taking our laptops, afraid of missing an email. And don't even get me started on phones—we thought they would broaden our horizons, but our view has shrunk to the size of a screen. Many jobs are now completed with AI assistance, and tasks that used to take three days now have to be done in one. Keynes once said that by the end of the 20th century, technological advancement would reduce the average workweek to 15 hours, but maybe only the Nordic countries have achieved that.
You will continue to be in fear when not able to adjust in the midst of technological sophistication and that will be a greater problem when letting walk without a solution. People create ease of work and the final goal to benefit financially. If people can do something easier why we don't use these conveniences to produce financial benefits. Even though we don't need to create and all we have to do is look for a gap in the creation.
Excessive concerns will not provide a solution because fear will continue to kill our dreams and developed countries will continue to create innovations related to technological developments. Then the question is where we will be and whether we have to give up accepting these progress.
