In the mid 50's scientists looked at all the upcoming technology and did a study to see how it would impact our lives.
They predicted that by the year 2000 technology would be so great that people would be more effecient and would be working way less. By the year 2000, they predicted that the average American would only work 22 hours a week. They were so concerned that they began to wonder what in the world Americans would do with all their free time.
Boy - wish they were right. I think just the opposite has happened. More technology means we get things done more efficiently, but that just means were stuck doing more work.
