The future of telework in the information society
copyright Noel Hodson SW2000 Telework Studies
Mankind has worked hard to abolish work
and has very nearly succeeded.
If people will be able to live anywhere,
can they work effectively from where they live?
By 2022 most goods will be made in automated factories,
close to the sources of primary materials, perhaps built underground,
and controlled by engineers hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
Financial services, fiscal and economic controls and most
desk work will be entirely automatic, conducted by computers.
The question is not “Can we do this” but more pertinently,
When nobody HAS TO work, who will own the capital?
