<p>I think technology is overwhelming many these days. in little ways. The whole notion of the administrative assistant or data entry clerk is gone. But not the labor they did. That has been passed on to the consumer. A gazillion SAP applications in which we must enter our personal info, our account numbers, etc, all in exactly the format desired and before the screen fades. We face this for taxes, fees, doctor visits, insurance claims, virtually everything. And all this labor is invisible to the marketplace. Although it “costs” us in time and energy, we are not compensated, we must fit it in around the edges of our “real work.”</p>
<p>So yeah, I think technology – wonderful as it is – has brought some nightmares to our lives.</p>
