Right. Computers doing the shit that we don’t want to do for a living while giving us time to do things like paint cows that don’t have two heads.
Technology has removed a lot of time consuming or boring jobs, but it also made us spend our time in front of the computers. The idea from the start was that we could live our lives while computers do our tasks. But we ended up on social media or in front of computer games.
