The Computer Promised Us Time—Can AI Deliver?

Gather ’round, friends, and let me paint you a picture from the not-so-distant past—those bold and brash decades of the ’80s and ’90s. Leg warmers, neon everything, MTV actually playing music videos… and “The Computer” was front and center, promising to free us from drudgery and hand us back our precious time.

Well, we all know how that turned out. Instead of chilling in our newfound extra hours, we just piled on more work. Why? Because we humans have a knack for filling every spare second. We replaced typewriters with PCs, faxes with emails, and “The Computer” became our 24/7 personal assistant… which, ironically, meant we started working more hours, not fewer.

Fast-forward to today. Now, we’re hearing the same promise with AI and automation. “Let the robots handle it!” they say. And guess what? That’s exciting—and it’s also a little déjà vu, right? Will we finally seize the extra time AI can deliver, or just cram our schedules even tighter?

But here’s the kicker: We can do things differently this time. Instead of letting AI bury us under more tasks, let’s use it to reclaim our creativity, up our efficiency, and embrace those sweet moments of freedom and innovation.
