Industry is getting to be old hat now. In most western countries, the remains of industry are all around and are now reminders of an obsolete and abandoned yesterday. That's how it always appears in Rick Steves' trips to Europe, for example.

Internet-connected would be more appropriate than Mr Butler's Star Trek cruft.

Also, without industry (mostly Chinese) there wouldn't be any Millennial iPhones.
