My hands are keyboard-smooth these days, but I'm always suprised when people are suprised that people make things with their hands, when they spend all day surrounded with things made with someone's hands.
About automation: That robot clock has been running since Henry Ford. Most manufacturing jobs (if not all) are a human loading a machine with material, monitoring the machine so it doesn't jam, tear itself apart on, or shred the material, then pulling the finished product which is being ejected as quickly as a humn can keep up, wrapping it, and getting it to the next machine. Every hour the machine breaks down, and the operator figures out how to bring it back up quickly, or a mechanic has to come and do a medium to full scale repair depending on the damage.
I'm not sure how magic robot arms can change that, until they can figure out how to load themselves with rubber from the truck, and how to fix themselves really quickly.
