But it’s not like our standard of living has remained static while we need to work more. A lot has changed. In 1960 the average single family home was 1300 square feet, now it’s more than double that, and it’s packed with amazing amenities and entertainment options. What would an iPad cost in 1960?
Obviously the question is kind of nonsensical and yet on the other hand, if you were to try and quantify the price of our ability to work from home, for instance, we have a way better deal going than they did in 1960. You could retort that this is the inevitable march of technological progress, but could it be the result of hard work and innovation including the hard work and innovation of women in the work force?
