Besides moon colonies and flying cars, this is another of the predictions of how the future would like that has turned out quite different than what was expected.
It was supposed that we would work less, either involuntarily because the bad robots and computers took our jobs and made us obsolete or voluntarily, because automation would free us of doing the grinding work. Ironically both scenarios somewhat came true but it didn't result in less work.
Doing work because you want to and not because you have to should be the goal. But currently I don't see this happen for the majority of the people.
If we had an unconditional basic income, we would be much closer to this ideal but I am not sure how feasible it is at all and also how disrupting to our society as a whole the introduction would be.
