New technologies always come with increased expectations but never to cut down the overall work. You got a car and you were expected to travel more distance in less time. You got mobile phone and internet, and you were expected to be always connected and informed.
Technologies were not meant to give you more free time or let people to be out of work and enjoy their idle time. Technologies are meant to increase productivity while utilizing ALL of the human resources at the disposal for a nation.
Heck, they don't even allow you to spend much time for family. They gave nursing homes for elderly and creches for the kids. The economies are built for workers and roads & cars are built to bring the workers to factories (offices).
Also they ensure that you don't dare to be out of job, by tying you down with the mortgages and keeping the house prices at a level that you need to work forever just to have a roof over your head.
You live in city because of work, and you work because you need to afford to live in city.
