Yeah, it was way better when we were working in the mines 10 hours a day without weekends from age 10 for an allowance at the company store.

Many technologies are ethically neutral. The effect they have on society is dependent on how they’re implemented. That so many technologies have been implemented in ways that degrade our quality of life speaks volumes about who our society empowers.

You can estimate by measuring the displacement of your entire body, giving you an average density, then just measure a limb, and do a little mathematics.

The census data is not the actual number of people. Even if it were 100% correct, which it isn't, it is only a snapshot of time.

How could there be an incorrect number of people that are older than yourself?
True, It's unlikely I could find that exact number. But that number will never increase.

Hmmm needing to look something up before the internet
Leave house, go to library, check card catalog, find book, read or copy page.
After the internet
googles the question

Thinks that were easy and pay less, so you worked longer hours to earn more have been replaced by machines... And now we need to work longer on more difficult jobs

I graduated college right as the pandemic started so I was unemployed for like a year and a half. I don't love work but it's nice to have some structure in my life. I just wish my ability to live didn't depend on it.

Yeah... We work longer harder and for less money because technology makes things easy... Not better.... Ultimately everything will be so easy that we will have no job to get money

Im deaf
My doctor signed me up for google glass study
​
google gave me free glasses that close caption everything i need to hear and do not caption anything i dont. I went to china and the glasses translated all the signs for me as well as the people talking to me in Chinese in real time
​
sorry. Technology rocks

The "correct" number of people older than you never increases.
The problem becomes what is the correct number? I would argue it can never be known as the null hypothesis is unfalsifiable with current methods.
Census data would be the source for this data and needs to be corrected all of the time.

You're thinking of capitalism. Technology has done as advertised, and your boss is taking advantage of it, and you.
