All our tech, instead of having less working people; has resulted in less working hours. 72-40

No, it was because of those unions and workplace regulations; the same damn unions that are depriving children of gainful employment and making them go to those damn liberal schools instead of working in the factories as soon as they could walk.

Working three days a week to maintain current life style could be the future, then two, etc.

LOL - no. As productivity increase, you're simply required to produce more, not work less. In my example above, I could extrapolate that my productivity increases would entitle me to work 30 minutes a day (hyperbole - I didn't bother doing the math) for the same paycheck. I
do automate my tasks when I can, but I'm still expected to warm a chair for 8 hours. In my last job, I even automated my interactions with the ticketing system (Remedy) and added times, so that someone looking at my ticket history would infer that I was working and closing tickets all day, when in reality it was a script that read the ticket, parsed the work, did the work, and closed the ticket - all without my intervention.
