"technology" is just something that economists working for industrial trade groups have latched onto to desperately try and re-direct people's attention. It does cause job loss, but cheaper labor abroad has been a far larger factor by an exponential variant.
We have lost 40,000 factories since the late seventies. Most of which housed goods that are now made abroad. Blaming that on automation and technology is not only idiotic, it just defies common sense.
