You can look at it that way, as technology is making it happen more.

You are correct. In addition, it's all the emerging technologies that have arrived since the start of the Industrial Revolution, along with other things, that has us here today.

Really it's always been going on. Creating things that make our lives easier. Think about the wheel. The simplest thing that made a huge difference, I would assume.

You are correct about the industrial revolution. What I see as the true issue is since technology has made our lives so much easier it has also created a much lazier society. The jobs that just require hard physical labor are actually going up in pay scale cause people dont know how to work hard. The jobs that I see being slowly taken over by "bots" are things like cashiers. Sometimes when I go to walmart I feel I should get a W2 since I'm doing the work for them, self checkout. Kiosks at mcdonalds to order food.

Another issue I see is people wanting to be paid a crapton of money for jobs that don't require really much effort or education.

Sorry for the intrusion but I have to ask, what kind of work do you do?

Not really. Just idle curiousity.

Ah. I grew up on a farm. Have done all of those things. Pretty cool actually. My dad was the type if he needed it he "built" it with steel. Many roofing jobs, carpentry, plumbing, welding, machining, repairing vehicles. Running farm equipment, moving pipe (hated that), loved running combine though.

My dad was similar. I didn't value that growing up. I value it highly now.
