I'll believe it when I see it. I remember as a kid reading popular science magazine. We were supposed to have flying cars and be working 20 hour workweeks by now because automation and efficiency would give us more free time. Instead, it drove down wages and made people have to find a way to scrape together even more hours of work to try to pay the bills.
