technology works to make life obsolete
It will make most work obsolete. The result would be the arbiters of business, the maintainers of automation and the producers of greater means of efficiency being the only people actually employed, in the developed world. The rest of society would be lower middle to middle-class, subsidized by the profits of automation to simply exist, buying and consuming, keeping the economy circulating on a mostly fixed income.
This of course doesn't mesh with the neo-liberal economic model we've been pushing since the 80's and so what you'll see instead is a mass of low-wage jobs, regardless of most skill and education, with the main segment of society working 64 hour or so weeks with extreme competition against subsidized foreign labor for the privilege of paying a mortgage until they die.

For the most part, it already has.
Eventually life itself will be automaton and there won't the human race will die.
I, for one welcome our new robotic overlords.

Technology can't emulate love. At least, not yet.
