We do no have a “post-industrial” society no matter how much more “technology” we are using. Everything “technology” needs in terms of hardware is a product of industrial production, and a good part of the use of technology is in industrial production of everything else.

Correct! We outsource our production to other countries and then pat ourselves on the back for how “advanced” we are. Honestly, it’s the same thing with agriculture too.

Exactly right. Where does all this tech come from? Industry of course, but sadly not nearly enough American industry. People who make things are very important to economic prosperity. You cannot solve every problem with an app.
