I've always thought, if I was rich, I would hire one or more developers who's job was to educate me on software (empowering me), and write and run software I was interested in. Wonder why I haven't heard of any rich people doing that? |

One answer is that slave labor made a steam engine unneeded: any work the engine could do was already being done by slaves. Similarly, Cicero had no need for a printing press, any time he wanted to print something (election pamphlets, for example), he had an army of slaves copy it over and over by hand.
So maybe rich people have the same thing: they don't need someone to code them a train schedule app (or whatever to empower them), they just tell someone to figure out their schedule for them.
