Not with a tractor, get me a spade". It's the same idea, even if you equate magic and technology. | |

I'm assuming you're referring to this passage; ‘What are you two up to?’ asked Ron. ‘Can’t you help us with these sprouts? You could just use your wand and then we’ll be free, too!’ ‘No, I don’t think we can do that,’ said Fred seriously. ‘It’s very character-building stuff, learning to peel sprouts without magic, makes you appreciate how difficult it is for Muggles and Squibs –’ | |

At any rate, I don't think it's generally accepted amongst wizards that magic is just "an easy way to do something that you could do for yourself". | |
