Abstract :
In Britain, automation will bring about a complete change in management and worker attitudes; it will change the skills which industry needs and cause everybody to reconsider their conventional ideas of work, payment for work and working hours. The result should be a higher standard of general prosperity, which will have to be shared by everyone and not confined to the elite in sophisticated industry. Community life will be changed, not only as a result of higher standards and greater leisure, but also because of the use of automation in everyday life.
