Technology has removed a lot of time consuming or boring jobs, but it also made us spend our time in front of the computers. The idea from the start was that we could live our lives while computers do our tasks. But we ended up on social media or in front of computer games.
It’s great for companies though, since now they make money both when we work and when we are off work. The attention economy is very real.
