Yes, but those efficiencies open new possibilities. Transistors killed abaci and slide rules, and made skills in their use suddenly redundant.

Fast forward, and I'm reading about people employed to make realtime peer to peer video between any two people in the world.

Yes, truly self improving AI would change everything, and probably spell the end of the traditional economy, but I think we're a long while off yet.
