We can use technology for the real benefits that it brings; but taking away the availability of the many enjoyable professions that are available is not, in my view, a beneficial development. And also begs the question, "why ?" The point still remains; how are we enriched by "machines taking over" ; & , how are we going to provide for ourselves when there are no jobs & no income available because of this ?
I's an interesting point, but the simple fact is that the change is the reason why we are now better off despite the people at the time not enjoying the change much.
Perhaps in the future they will look back and consider this time equally satanic...
