>The luddites had a point.

Didn't the machines ended up creating more jobs than there were before even taking into account the lost ones? They had a point, until it turned out they were wrong.

Also, wasn't innovation getting in the way of other jobs since before? Didn't Uber and similar applications end up becoming competition for the taxis? In my country taxi drivers were protesting for those apps to be banned, yet they couldn't compete with the convenience and safety of the apps. And before that, weren't horse-drawn carriage drivers protesting against cars?
