  • Abstract
    Automation is not merely new techniques and machinery, but is a way of thinking about the man — machine complex that has vast economic implications, especially for the electronics industry. There are, however, powerful psychological and economic factors that will brake its development, thus insuring time to adjust. Examples are provided from the author´s own practice to document this point.
