Hehe. Sure. I mean it’s a blessing or can be problematic… I think most people appreciate a TV set is a few hundred bucks these days. Or the availability of smartphones and home computers. That’s only possible because of modern pick and place machines. I think our world would look a bit more like the victorian age if we didn’t have those modern perks. Each computer would be hand-soldered by a workforce of hundreds of people. Fill several rooms and be slow and unaffordable for anyone except the government…

But automation is problematic as well. I mean we’re arguing about it since the Industrial Revolution.
