Nah, you'd be working similar hours delivering fewer products at a much higher price. Technology benefits your customers and your employer, but unless you're self-employed, it doesn't benefit you, because capitalism and market forces have made it so the benefits of your increased productivity are taken by others.

Nah.. It does benefit me. Having a CNC cut the stone is far less labor intensive. Having a hoist to move pieces is much less strain on my back and body. The productivity rate is only changed marginally, the machine runs for an extended period of time allowing me to basically stand and watch. If I had to hand fabricate everything; I would be working, much more intensive labor, non-stop until the fabrication is complete.
