Still putting in our 40 hours like sheep instead of enjoying the fruits of our collective increased efficiency.

As a society if we lived a 70s standards of living a huge percentage of people could work part time.
But 1 car families, bungalow houses, casserole for dinner (not eating out much if ever), camping in a tent for vacations, no cell phones/internet/cable bill
