Text on the meme
No More Hard Work by 2023! DR. CHARLES P. STEIN- METZ, the electrical expert, believes that the time is coming when there will be no long drudgery and that people will toil not more than four hours a day, owing to the work of electricity. He visualizes an amazing trans- formation in life in 2023. Every city will be a "spotless town." That is to be the work of electricity, also.
What it means

An old newspaper clipping predicts that by 2023 electricity will eliminate hard work and reduce the working day to four hours. Below it, a young boy cries, creating an ironic reaction to the failed futuristic prediction and the reality of modern work. The meme is used when joking about broken promises of technological progress or exhausting labor.
