There was a time when only men worked. Then women doubled the workforce. Did everyone then work half a day only? No. Again, the promise of new technology was that we would work fewer hours - perhaps only a few per week. It didn't happen. Instead, we work longer and harder. Why? Is it we trade increased leisure time for more goods? No. For while the GDP goes up, living standards paradoxically go down. Puzzling though this is, the question is never discussed.
If we dont buy it,we dont have to pay for it ,repair it ,power it ,replace it.... . Therefore the energy you'd expend at 'work' to buy this Stuff can be saved for more important tasks.
