1 person will do what 10 people used to do.
Technology keeps reducing the number of people it takes to do things.
Ex 1: Travelling to a different state: In the 1850's you'd have a literal caravan of people, wagons, supplies, and horses to go anywhere. Now you can hop in a car by yourself and go anywhere. 10x to 100x reduction in labor needed.
Ex 2: Making a film someone will see: 30 years ago you'd need crews, directors, film, editors, and distribution. Now a person with an iPhone can access millions of people. A 100x reduction in labor.
Ex 3: Accounting and financial stuff: There used to be rooms full of people doing literal arithmetic and updating a chalkboard that was a "spreadsheet." Now one person can use QuickBooks or a Google Spreadsheet to do complex financial modeling for hundreds of companies at a time. A 100x reduction in labor.
Ex 4: Publishing online It used to take a team of writers and editors and SEO people to get traffic online. Now with 1 person and an AI you can replicate all that work. A 100x reduction in labor.
Every time a new technology marches in, there's some initial resistance as you can see:
However generally it's the people who embrace the technology are on the right side of history (and financial success).
