I think it's more of a case of you don't miss what you have never had. I am sure many have had a stiff neck, sore back etc after farming but I would imagine the body gets accustomed to it (kind of like going to the gym for the first time )
While there are still many jobs that are "hard labour" I think for the most part these days we just have it way to easy....and with all these devices that are supposed to save us time I wonder if they really do at all and if they do where is it then :D
