New Tech Reduces Jobs

In our society we use new technology to automate as much work as possible because it allows some of us to make more money as it makes workers more efficient or eliminates their jobs their jobs all together. But wait, doesn't new technology create more jobs? It shouldn't have a net result of job creation because that would mean the technology is creating more work. No one would use technology that creates more work and expenses. Technology will continue to evolve to the point where the work required for almost all human needs is automated. Hopefully one day this will result in people being able to work less while maintaining a quality standard of living. In the interim people will have to compete for the fewer low paying jobs as society adapts.
