alt Hacker NewsI think this is where people start to consider you a "Luddite".
Is it bad that you used a computer and Google and lifted information from other people to accomplish a task?
My father is a machinist and has built has knowledge off the skills and documentation of thousands before him, is that empty?
You still have to do the actual work, and where do you draw the line on "shipping more". If a farmer now has an automated tractor, does that mean his work is now trivial?
I am not a luddite by any means, and I think that all these comparisons fall short. Automating physical work has a different effect on our brain than automating intellectual work. Or maybe I'm fooling myself, and it's just our turn as worker to get the industrial revolution treatment.
