Nice post. I think perhaps some humans are disconnected, but in another way, I lived through the nineties in America. People got in their cars, rolled out their garage door, drove to work, rolled back into the garage and closed the door.
We were so isolated from each other and in most cases, those digital devices are providing, as surface level as it may be, more connections with more people.
In addition, by fearing the robots taking our work, we risk becoming Luddites, I think, trying to hold the world in the era of horse and buggy, worried that mass trans would destroy the human race, but look at us now!
We have to look to the future and figure out, what does a future without labor for sustenance economies look like? Perhaps we can get back exploring our universe, discovering new and better ways to live in it, while the machines produce the goods we need to live our lives, cheaper and more efficiently than we ever could.
Have we forgotten, after all, which came first? We invented them, not the other way around. The only way they take our "place" is if we find our identity in the struggle for survival represented by the modern work world, where so many jobs have no real existential meaning, no fulfillment and no upward mobility. I for one, welcome the robot overlords, they can cut my grass while I finish my next novel.
