Poe's Law in effect in this thread. This is clearly satire.
I thought it was a good read - people don't think about the value in some of the things we've lost in the name of efficiency. It's like a corner store where you know the employees and see your neighbors versus a big box store with lower prices.
The example you mention is actually in the essay itself. But yes, it would be nice if the technology companies could work on a way to automate the stuff we don't enjoy doing instead of the stuff that brings meaning into our lives.
washing machines
Dryers
Stoves you don't have to chop wood for.
Water that comes at the turn of a tap
