Which is completely opposite from Antic times, during which work was considered demeaning, because, hey we got slaves to do that stuff. Going out to the field and harvesting was looked upon same as now is rolling in shit. You could do it but highly degrading. Arts and philosophy were all the rage.

- knodi123 13y agoInteresting aside: The word "robot" comes from slavic "robota", meaning drudge work that a serf is forced to perform for his lord. It's funny that the word has evolved to mean "something which frees us from drudge work" instead. And "slave" came from "Slav", referring to a member of the slavic people, who in ancient times were frequently taken as slaves. I love etymology.
