Good summary. Now, expand your thoughts. What would you consider for next steps? What would you propose? How can a society as a whole try to balance the pros and cons? Sounds like the repetitive nature of necessary work needs to be countered by some form of intellectual stimulation. This reminds me of something I heard a long time ago...that in Cuban cigar factories, one employee would just sit and read aloud to the cigar rollers, newspapers, works of literature, whatever. This was done to counter the impact of a simple repetitive task on the workers, just sitting and rolling for the entire work day. Supposedly, this inspired the names of some cigars.
