The future of telework in the information society
copyright Noel Hodson SW2000 Telework Studies
If nobody has to work - and if people live longer,
What on earth will they do with their time?
People will still choose to work - but for a far smaller part of their lives.
This question assumes an automatic and fair ownership
of income and capital. If that can be done - say from birth
and people are born to a life of middle-class security,
they are most likely to pursue self-education, hobbies
research, invention and vocational work.
There are many models of middle-class affluent societies
to examine and to follow.
Universal and lifelong education was identified in1992 by
Martin Bangemann, EC Commissioner for Telecommunications and Industry,
as the largest single application for the tools of the Information Society.
Go home and tell your kids they will be staying
at school for the next 120 years.
