time should be spent interacting with experiences that enrich. whether this is people, places, things, etc. if one is not growing one is wasting time.

so automation should bring people closer to focusing on what is important but whatever gains that get made are immediately lost in the creation of a new process or activity or task that one must do.

ex/ i carry a small computer around with me that frees me from the desk, however, now i must manage all of my friends/network via several different social media services while navigating through endless privacy changes, designs, interfaces, policies, etc.
