Isaac Asimov's take on learning

I thought the interview of Isaac Asimov was eerily true to our society, with how we currently live and how we want to live. I agreed with everything he said! There's a terrible problem with technophobia in our society, and this is harming us. Of course, economically speaking, machines are taking jobs and somewhat dehumanizing the process of work, but I think that's how things will have to continue in our society and have been since the industrial revolution. Technology helps and hurts us, but the benefits far outweigh the cost. In a utopian society, everyone is happy and crime is low. A lot of crime happens because people need money to do things they love. If they could all work in fields they loved, and school was specialized for each student to learn more about the things they love, I believe we'd have so much less crime and so much less angry people in the world. No more spit in your burger at McDonalds, no more uninterested and unhelpful Best Buy employees, etc. If we had less people doing these kind of jobs and more people using their brains to continue learning even after school, we could solve the world's problems much quicker and much easier. We'd have real thinkers, creatives, scientists, etc that can follow careers they WANT to do, earn their money there, and use that for their relaxation and personal enrichment. Technology is your friend, not your enemy, and with that on our side, we could do so much more for ourselves and our species.
