I disagree with the essay because I too believe as in what the article says "busyness implies hard work, which implies good character, a strong educator, and either present or future affluence." I think if we were to take time off work we would then become lazy and not discipline ourselves. The article suggests that if we were to get technology to do our work for us we can work less but the problem is you would screw yourself over by giving up your job completely to a computer because it can do a faster and efficient job than you. I believe working builds character and working overtime can benefit you to succeed.
