People vs technology: where should innovation come from?

Work is the main source of income, and as such is the main way people meet their material needs. Engagement in paid work marks the passage to maturity that starts back when adults ask a child for the first time what they want to "be" when they grow up. It is, of course, the main goal of education to equip young people with the skills and certifications required to be able to work. During the industrial revolution in the middle of the 19th century, the idea of the working week was born. Although, rather than being the 9 to 5, Monday to Friday existence that people are used to, workers were expected to undertake 14-hour shifts, with only Sunday off to go to church.
