From Paul Graham:

Historically, letting technology eliminate their jobs has been a sacrifice people have made for their kids’ sakes. Not intentionally, for the most part, but their kids ended up with the new jobs created as a result. No one weaves now, and that’s fine.

I LOVE this. A bit concerning when some of that generation don’t want all the benefits of the tech, but I do like seeing this as a potential sacrifice on our parts for a better tomorrow.
