Next to want, boredom has become the worst scourge in our lives. Instead of letting the ingenious machinery we have invented produce an increasing amount of superfluous luxury, we must plan to develop it so that it takes off human beings all the unintelligent, mechanical, ‘machine-like’ handling. The machine must take over the toil for which man is too good, not man the work for which the machine is too expensive, as comes to pass quite often.

Very fitting, as it was since the industrial revolution and even today, with all the machine learning algorithms and worry about robots taking our jobs (they won't, and the jobs they do take are probably for the better anyway).
