You bet your bippy!
We grump and groan of things but we must also take into mind that the needs of our society have made some dramatic changes EX; metal work is replaced by polymers. robots do the job longer somewhat better and do not need breaks or vacations. even the wood we build our homes of is being replace by concrete that is positioned by 3d machines. objects are made from designs that are thought of only a hour ago. Gasoline that is refined from oil is in decline due to battery power, (don't mention greed) Think about it even the fuel for our models is getting harder to find because of battery powered planes that are molded from plastic instead of being cut and built from wood and are disposable.
More importantly our moral fiber has decayed to a point that respect is considered a handycap. the family unit? almost a thing of the past. babies are having babies.
the worlds needs and wants are in flux. today watch what is happening in the manufacturing sector batteries an elect. motors don't need valve jobs. when they break we remove and replace---------not much skill needed there. your car is operated, guided, diagnosed, and in some ways fixed Or junked by a computer chip. which we are in dire need of because we sent the knowledge and job overseas. People we ain't in Kansas no more, scottie dun beamed us up.
