Somewhat paradoxically, we've been much more successful automating mechanical tasks than digital ones. We've had steam looms and automotive assembly plants far longer than server farms and super computers.
And I might argue this kind of automation has been far more fruitful. I can point to a lot more in my daily life that has benefited from the industrialization of steel and plastic fabrication than what I've received from Google Search Results.
To say the millions of man-hours and trillions of dollars sunk into the advertisement and entertainment industries couldn't be put to better use... Come on, man. The latest Marvel movie wasn't so good that I wouldn't have traded it for a globalized 1980s British NHS.
