Hardly a week goes by without some advance in technology that would have seemed
incredible 50 years ago. And we can expect the rate of change to accelerate rather than
slow down within our lifetime. The development in technology are bound to have a
dramatic effect on the future of work. In the near future, new technology will revolutionize
communications, People will be transmitting everything down telephone lines that
previously would have been sent by post. Not only postmen but also clerks and secretaries
will vanish in a paper-free society. All the routine tasks they perform will be carried on a
tiny silicon chip so that they will be as obsolete as the horse and cart after the invention of
the motor car. One change will make thousands, if not millions, redundant.

Even people in traditional professions, where expert knowledge has been the key, are
unlikely to escape the effects of new technology. Instead of going to a solicitor, you might
go to a computer which is programmed with all the most up-to-date legal information.
Doctors, too, will find that an electronic competitor will be able to carry out a much quicker
and more accurate diagnosis and recommend more efficient courses of treatment. In
education, teachers will be largely replaced by teaching machines far more knowledgeable
than any human being. Most learning will take place in the home via video conferencing.
Children will still go to school though until another place is created where they can make
friends and develop social skills.

What can we do to avoid the threat of unemployment? We shouldn’t hide our heads in the
sanD. Unions will try to stop change but they will be fighting a losing battle. People should
get computer literate as this just might save them from professional extinction. After all,
there will be a few jobs left in law, education, and medicine for those few individuals who
are capable of writing and programming the software of the future. Strangely enough,
there will still be jobs like rubbish collection and cleaning, as it is tough to program tasks
which are largely unpredictable.
