This is a positive interpretation of the scenario that may well be valid. Perhaps the question of whether job satisfaction at Amazon has improved or not is a little subjective.
I love your linked picture. I think that with it you imply that in the past, technological progress has been linked with higher standards of living for most. I'd agree with that, but I am wary of extrapolating that trend into the future; or maybe just concious that significant social turmoil came along with that progress.
Perhaps the situation is not so different, but we are merely doomed to repeat the mistakes of the industrial revolution; during the robotics/knowledge revolution!
- maxerickson 12y agoHasn't the average global standard of living more or less skyrocketed since 1950, even as the population has more than doubled? The only substantial, technology related decline in standard of living over that period is of relatively well off Americans, primarily the blue collar middle class (and it's messy to actually try to compare across time periods like that, there are things that cost very little today that didn't exist 30 years ago).
