Throughout history, advances in technology, and the subsequent impact and
change to daily life that they affect, have caused humans a fair amount of angst

and cheaper. In higher-touch industries, however, humans can adapt by
partnering with technology to elevate product or service delivery and to
streamline the process. >>
