To the children of the modern age and beyond
By Alan Baylis
The outcome of the present social trend does not look promising. In the
beginning most work was manual labour and people were assured of a
job. Gradually the workers were put to work making machines, which
inevitably replaced a lot of workers in all areas. Many workers turned,
through necessity, to non-manual labor orientated work in businesses and many were
put to work making a machine to handle the work of business. This has already
occurred with the advent of the computer and the pains of redundancy are still
being felt (1998.) The workers are now being put to making robots; when they
are completely successful, all workers (no distinction between laboring and
thinking necessary) will have no means with which to earn a living. All that
will be left will be the corporations; whose only motive is profit. They will
use their automation to produce products for an increasingly poor society and
when the market shrinks we know they will battle harder to make consumers. The
only outcome is extremely high unemployment. Only the shareholders and those
few needed to run the corporations will have non-state based incomes.
For the solution, read the Bible.
