No tech will be available to lift the standard of living in the same way that a reliable health care and social system, affordable housing and reasonable work life balance can. Telling people “you can’t afford health care, housing or retirement but look at how great self driving cars and phones are” is just condescending talk by the upper class to distract from growing inequality.
Healthcare is largely tech. Housing is human technology . Retirement is just accumulated savings, which go further with less expensive goods and services.
Since everything you mention that we need more of is human technology, why are you so convinced that more technology will not benefit people?
I’m certain there was a point in history where everyone was largely equal with very very little. Was this better?
