A lot of software being written is to solve the "problem" of humans doing repetitive/simple work that can be automated. Interesting to ponder that say a year of development may prevent tens of thousands of man hours of staff being paid for their time. This trend causes life to be less and less personal whereby we might have interaction with another person for simple things like groceries and banking being completely replaced with tapping on a screen and occasional frustration as every company has their own custom UI that has to be understood to interact with the business' processes.


Most of what people are paid to do, doesn't need to be done in the first place.
