> Technology, instead of giving us more free time, caused us just to fill that free time with different work
Technology gave us more free time. It also gave us more things to do with that time. You don't need more than a few tens of thousands of dollars of savings to basically retire somewhere remote-ish and live a 19th-century lifestyle. Most of us don't do it because want air travel and internet and modern medicines.
