Man will have greater amount of free time in the days to come than he has today, thanks to various newer time saving machines.

Do you agree or disagree with this view? 

Man’s need for free time has always been high, and time saving machines help him out as well. But the thing, in my opinion, is that he is not going to enjoy any more free time tomorrow even if there would be more efficient time saving devices than there are today.

The primary point with which I am going to support my stance is that man has always complained of timelessness. Let me cite and example. Today, unlike in the past, we enjoy enormous time saving machinery, and the time saved thereby is not taken as free time, rather we tend to convert that saved time into money or money time.

Secondly, tomorrow man will be leading a still more sophisticated life which will be costlier and more demanding than what it is today. In such a milieu, no single thing would come cheap, and he will have to shell out greater amounts to make his life up-to his individual expectations. What I mean is he will have to find huge amounts which, in turn, would demand for further application of time. Finally, it would not be an exaggeration to add that, if at all there is a little free time for some tomorrow, not for all, it will be more occupied with technology.

It is thus proved with evidences and examples that man is not going to have more free time in the ages to come. Though more time saving machines are in the pipeline for replacing human efforts still further, free time will be at a premium for sure.
