I think great minds often fall for this "trap". Bertrand Russel predicted the same, arguing that industrialization would allow more leisure opportunities to more income classes.
What they seem to miss is that people unemployed by technology will not have money to enjoy their leisure time, whereas the employed ones won't be asked to work any less. (Unless you're the boss of course!)
... you'd understand that house prices are becoming unbearable, especially for families, but bearable for startups and research branches of big companies. So the mayor is studying ways to avoid an active-by-day deserted-by-night city. Probably this won't go through exactly as is, but these companies may be asked to leave certain residential areas.
Or maybe past insanity at this point. Lots of people still rely on software that does not yet support Windows 10 for their jobs. This is an OS for goodness sake...
The hadron collider uses crazy amounts of helium, which it has had to procure all over the world.
I understand the scientists want to play with all the helium, but I say balloons for children are pretty important too. I'd rather keep children's balloons to a number of scientific endeavors...

...it won't. But if you ask enough, maybe it'll come true.
YES
If so, at least the article's jumble of catchphrases still moved the universe forward. Yay.

It's ironic how the public *thinks* so much; yet scientists *know* so little.
