The Wealth of a Society of Counter Productivity

Living in the city is actually safer than in the country. More car accidents happen daily in the St. Louis metro area than shocking muggings occur annually. Ivan Ellip argues that a society reliant on labor-saving devices becomes more laborious for everyone, and the wealthy elite distinguish themselves by not having to access goods through the system. For instance, the owner of Walmart doesn't have to visit the store. Similarly, people advocating for touchscreen technology in public schools send their children to Montessori schools where they learn through traditional methods.
