In a New York Time’s article titled Tech Is Splitting the U.S. Work Force in Two, written by Eduardo Porter in February of this year, it was argued that the technology sector is breaking our economy in ways that are destabilizing our society, at large. In his piece, Porter argued that while the technology sector has promised a future where we’ll be capable of doing meaningful work we care about while being paid livable wages, we’re really just getting lulled into a world where robots do all the work and a small handful of individuals aggregate the majority of the wealth leaving the rest of us to live off some “yet-to-be-invented welfare program... a Silicon Valley pipe dream.”
