    Absolutely not. Lots of thing were created to make jobs faster and more importantly faster.

    Take the simple washing machine for example. Early iteration, before electric washing machine, caused a lot of injuries because people would get their arm stuck in the machine’s mechanism.

    So by creating the modern washing machine, we freed lot of time for people to do less menial stuff and made their life safer by not having your arm pushing clothes through a dangerous machine.

      Take the simple washing machine for example

      or the cotton gin, or the steam engine…

      Now one wo/man + machine can do the work of ten wo/men… and 9 wo/men were freed up to “do less menial stuff” - and not get paid (or enslaved) for it.
