The public is always against new technology that makes jobs obsolete.
This is awkward because the immense progress of the last 250 years has mostly come from such technology. Yet few people are aware of this.
I hope we can continue to progress by eliminating jobs, but the current backlash is probably the biggest I've seen in my life.

What backlash was there to the computer?
A lot of boomers to this day have an intense phobia of computers. My grandpa retired early because he refused to learn how to use a computer.
