At the beginning of the 20th century, for example in the USA, the life expectancy was 45 years. The majority of people were farmers performing hard manual jobs on their farms. Then later, a technological progress began that increased the peoples' life expectancy to 75-85 years. Computers liberated people from performing tedious and monotones tasks.
