I agree, but it's all a matter of what you're used to. The average person didn't have access to any kind of doctor a few hundred years ago, at least not one who knew what they were doing.

In your other post you mentioned that automation is more for filling a void than replacing humans, which is sometimes true. A lot of people have been put out of work because the technology became automated though, there's plenty of examples, I mean all online shopping is basically that.
