You have struck upon what 99.9% of the people miss about technology. We hear discussions about inflation and how much it is jumping. Yet then we hear about jobs being lost, which is deflationary.
What is not discussed is the fact that standards of living go up.
This deserves discussion. How we are defining standard of living as a society is where the conflict lies, I think. I see people living on the street with cell phones. Yes, they have access to all the wealth of human knowledge, but when the robots took their jobs making those phones they lost the ability to afford a place to live. I think most people find this trade reasonably unacceptable. How we distribute the wealth generated from automation needs to be addressed, but I don't really know what the solution is. I'd like to see it discussed more, though. It feels like it's getting close to a point where the majority won't be able to keep up, which means crime goes up as people try to survive. That gets more cops and people in prison. I don't want to live the life of a factory farm animal in my final years. I suspect no one else does either.
