Скачать или смотреть Automation & the Future of Work | Computer is a model employee (1964)

Computers perform tasks faster than any human on the job. Better still, they never report to work with a hangover. In 1964, companies begin to rely on this sophisticated equipment to perform jobs that would otherwise be done by humans. At the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, printing machines operate with empty chairs in front of them. Computer technology sets the newspaper's type all on its own. Computers have also improved Canada's telephone system, as reported in this CBC Television clip. By simply dialling 13 digits, Canadians can reach their loved ones without ever speaking to an operator. But automation does have its drawbacks. In the next six years, experts predict the economy will need to produce three million jobs to avoid an unemployment catastrophe due to automation.
