No! The idea of labor-saving devices is to increase the productivity of work. Rather than doing whatever task you had been doing you can make more money building the machine to do your job for you. Labor saving devices increase the productivity of labor by freeing workers to do other productive activities.

Absolutely not. Labor-saving devices increases productivity. Although some people would lose work, the soceity as a whole would be better off. Moreover, many jobs will likely be created by the new technology.

No! Man has shown that dangerous jobs can be safer by automation and safety. Labor saving devices help you and me live a safer and better life. Man is good and inherently invents good things for mankind. If not we would not have cars and would have to walk to wherever, because almost nothing would exist as we know it now! Evil is hurting someone. Evil does not exist unless we rip off people and cause pain and economic poverty to others.

Work isn't good it is necessary, and anything that means less work, particularly house work, is good.
