Car manufacturers, fruit growers, and constructionworkers are all relying more and more heavily on machines to do the work. The trajectory indicatesthat one day, there may be no need for humans to manually do any of this work anymore. And yetthere seems to be a proliferation of interest in the kinds of work that people claim to want to avoid.The large number of reality-television shows about people who have menial jobs: farmers, loggers,truckers, drillers and fishermen, points to the fallacy that people look down on these professions.While the audiences of these shows might not actually want to have these professions, they enjoyliving vicariously through those starring in these shows. What is it that draws people to watch theseworkers in action? Perhaps it's a primordial need for physical labor that involves creation using ourhands. Or maybe it's how we can feel the materials we work with because you can't get thatworking a desk job. Whatever the reason, we all still depend on these trades -- technology stillhasn't replaced people when it comes to driving cars, building houses and install ing electric wires.
