Poe's Law in effect in this thread. This is clearly satire.

I thought it was a good read - people don't think about the value in some of the things we've lost in the name of efficiency. It's like a corner store where you know the employees and see your neighbors versus a big box store with lower prices.

The example you mention is actually in the essay itself. But yes, it would be nice if the technology companies could work on a way to automate the stuff we don't enjoy doing instead of the stuff that brings meaning into our lives.
