Looks like it is here to stay so the jobs will be around as well.

Just a minor detail I guess.

Glad it wasn't just me thinking of that!

A limited area of service and "pick-ups and drop-offs will be limited to specified locations". It probably will save a few minutes but other than that.

Technology advances, regardless of our personal stakes in vacuum tubes and arc lighting.

People should question concepts like "Advances" and "Progress," which people have accepted as self-evident.

But our ideas of such, might be as chauvinistic today as were assumptions on the part of Europeans when they first encountered Native Americans and looked down upon them for what to the Europeans seemed a lack of industry and clothing.

Much of what we hail as progress is nothing more than the making of more from less, the less resulting from a depletion of resources from human overpopulation.

So, for example, as wood became rare and expensive, we switched to plastic furniture. When wild foods, free for the spearing and picking, became too scarce, we "advanced" by switching to farming.

And when farming outstripped the earth's ability to replenish the soil, we "advanced" by creating artificial fertilizer.

And when our health began to suffer from the effects of agriculture and industrialization, we invented modern medical science and wondered how "primitive" people could possibly live without it.

Why is it wild animals do not require human medical science or human grown food to live and multiply?

I'm not saying that all technology is bad, though even that might be debatable, but rather that industrialization may be doing more harm than good to us, and doing it at a rate that may be increasing exponentially.

Organisms, including humans, need a certain amount of regular stress to remain strong and healthy.

Technology addicts us to comfort, to which we become so accustomed that it no longer feels like comfort, and so we seek even more comfort.

And continue to weaken our health and our minds.

I doubt the microprocessor your computer currently has installed uses vacuum tubes, regardless of whether that weakens your mind or not.

You speak specifically to industrialism, I speak generally of technological advancement; some overlap, some differences... a weak mind or unhealthy body may or may not realize the contrasts.
