The goal of technology was for everyone to have easier lives and work less.

Wrong. There's no such think as one, common goal of technology. That's just your expectation.

Side note: thanks to feminism, almost half of population (previously not working) progressively entered a job market, driving the wages down and increasing the living costs, making people work longer. Mass immigration has similar effect.

Like you said, technology is just there to make life easier but you also have to understand that it is not technology that will pay your wages as that is totally on your employer and has nothing to do with technology.

I can't believe it can be that bad that if you have a solid skill and a good educational background, you won't be able to find a well paying job. If you know your worth on a normal day, You won't settle for less, unless you are living in a country where the unemployment rate is high.

I think you got it wrong, yes the wages might be small depending on what country you are in but it should not be blamed to technology. As technology innovate our daily living like in communication and transportation life gets easier but only to those who can afford these technology. The one to blame for the situation is inflation and only this that can be done about it is lower the yearly inflation.

The goal of technology was for everyone to have easier lives and work less. Well todays generations have it much tougher.  They are working for much lower wages and longer hours.  Its next to impossible for millenials to purchase a house on their own.  Something here itsn't right, Capitalism?

This issue is not due to the fault of technology. Nor it is a fault of capitalism. It is mainly because of the increase in educated population. The basic demand and supply rule.

In my country, when my parents got into a job, a normal bachelors degree was considered a great qualification. Now, even post graduation is not sufficient for many low paying jobs.   

I have seen hundreds of Engineers are working in BPO companies because they could not find a job befitting their education.

It is just the supply of qualified manpower has increased as compared to the available opportunities, resulting in decreased payment and increased workload. Simple demand supply rule it is following!

Not really sure where you living at but if work has something to do with technology, then the pay should be commensurate on your tech skills so its not lower wages, in my opinion. So if you work longer hours then obviously bigger pay.

So its possible that they can purchase a house of their own. I guess every generation has this mind set and not applicable for millennials alone, I myself was a IT graduate and find good job and nice pay and was able to purchase a house myself.



Usually people from developing countries, which are not capitalists alt all, blame capitalism for their problems and vote for socialists politicians hoping they will solve their problems.

That cause even more problems, because socialism never worked anywhere. Socialist politicians and policies fuked up my country and many others around Latin America
