I read the same stories over and over since I was born in 1980. Pakistan as a country and its government are failing due to failure to realize that the world has moved into a new direction. The pillars for a minimally functioning country in no particular order are : - Rule of Law - Education - Medicine - Technology - Work ethic - And last but not least the people should have to want a better life. When you want something bad enough, you get it! While other countries are adopting these practices and industrializing, we are failing to compete globally and now paying the price for it. If you're an elitist Pakistani who feels that they are secure then you are mistaken! the discontentment of the people will soon enter our backyards!

The lack of automation shows the current level of sophistication (or lack thereof) of the society. Human labor is still the main ingredient in the economy, thus requiring physical labour of all kinds. If in 50 more years, things are still the same, then clearly the society will have failed to provides means to eleviate poverty and means to educate people.
