How bad do you feel when your phone calls are routed without a human making the connections? How terrible do you feel when your refrigerator makes ice for you for essentially free, instead of having to pay someone to get it to your door?

This is not a new thing, and it's draconian to suggest that technology be held back to keep people artificially in demand.

Your silly stance on this reminds me of an equally silly quote from the late great Douglas Adams:

I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

  1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
  2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
  3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
