It doesn't. It just means that they are just as relevant (and no more relevant) than they have ever been. And it means that the maninpulation of resistant matter (e.g. the iron that is still buried in the ground and without which you would not be looking at a computer screen) is just as large a part of human life as always. It's just hidden from much of the population in the 'advanced' world, since it goes on in India and China. And what are all those "illegal" migrants in the U.S. doing? Dreaming up new algoryhmgs for the magical transmutation of cotton into the shirt on your back?
