Ok:
The average worker today has a 5 day working week rather than a 6 day working week: a change that was brought about by political means (unions) rather than technological means.
The average worker today has an 8 hour working day rather than a 12 hour working day: a change that was brought about by political means (unions) rather than technological means.
The average worker today has a minimum wage and minimum safe working conditions: a change that was brought about by political means (unions) rather than technological means.
Technology has certainly improved our lives, but you're not making the best case for it.
