A Man Works from Sun to Sun

Ever since the advent of the steam engine in 1769, machines have made life increasingly easier for people. Now that we've entered the 21th century, most, if not all, of our chores have been taken over by machines. We should be enjoying a life of freedom and leisure, right?
