Innovations in agriculture in the 19th century irreversibly changed the nature of people’s work. Productivity increased but working hours increased to meet growing demand for food production, textiles, and coal. If the impact is the same, augmentation will become the norm with an ongoing need for a human-in-the-loop. The parallels may be very similar; automation, labour displacement, increased output, unit cost reduction, etc. Should we be looking back to see how best to move forward? submitted by /u/Making-An-Impact
