This is categorically not what happened during the industrial revolution, you're thinking of the second industrial revolution and even then it's a less rosy picture. The first industrial revolution did not lead to rapid growth and in fact led to brutal methods to increase cheap resource extraction like children working in coal mines, expanded slavery in the new world, and brutal colonialism.

You have much greater odds of killing yourself or a pedestrian within a mile of your home because you weren't paying attention than being hit by a tired driver.

California is so well managed the state never has issues with bare essentials like power, water, or housing.

Despite all the griping on the internet, USA is consistently top 10 in broadband speed rankings, and costs are not that different from other countries.

Exactly what I was thinking. It must be a graveyard of autoplaying music, hit counters and flashing graphics.

I never really liked the term software engineer, and I think by the very definition of engineer it doesn't work. I've always refered to myself and others as a programmer, coder, or developer.
