I understand your argument, I just disagree. (also: you don't have to be a dick about it. Sometimes reasonable people can disagree, you know?) 150 years ago was a vastly different time. I don't care if they were wrong THEN. Back then they didn't even have computers and motors were inefficient. Time and technology have changed. It's like if someone had invented facebook in 1995. It's not like social networking is a bad idea, it just wouldn't have worked in 1995.

From his comments, I suspect that nickik may not be a native speaker, so I would not read too much into what you and me would assume as rudeness.

Im sorry, I was a bit angry because I felt like you did not even read my argument. > 150 years ago was a vastly different time. I don't care if they were wrong THEN. Back then they didn't even have computers and motors were inefficient. Time and technology have changed. I agree. But simular argument can be made for every decade since then. Im not arguing that it WILL go on, Im arguing that we have no reason to belive that it will stop soon. Im not hearing any new arguments and the data does not really fit the 'automation' story. So my question is, why is it diffrent now, and 'now we have tech X' is not good enougth.
