Good calls - Future Shock, written mostly in the 60s I think, could apply


today. Or could have applied around 1900.

Because it is never possible to see the future, we tend to assume the worst. You see it now - with growing technology people truly believe that in the near future, everything will be automated and we'll have nothing to do. Literally, there will be no work for people to do.

I think work in the future will look very different than it does today, and very different from all predictions. Which is again nothing new.
