> Life got better
I dunno, we seem to be struggling with a lot of kids who don't fit into an academic school run, and who no longer have lots of options in the form of practical jobs they can do instead when they're 16 and fed up with school.

I talked to someone running a warehouse a couple of years ago. They got containers packed with cans from abroad. The cans had to be put on pallets so the warehouse robots could store them.
So they had one guy who's sole job was to pack the individual cans from the containers and pack them on pallets. The guy doing it loved it. He put on his music and packed those cans, not having to interact with anyone for most of the day. The mindless job left him free to ponder (he read lots of academic articles at home). So, great for him that he found that job.
However, the warehouse robot means there's like 10 people working that giant warehouse instead of several dozen...
