Automation

Jerry Brown Politician

""Jobs for every American" is doomed to failure because of modern automation and production. We ought to recognize it and create an income-maintenance system so every single American has the dignity and the wherewithal for shelter, basic food, and medical care. I'm talking about welfare for all. Without it, you're going to have warfare for all."

Marshall McLuhan Philosopher, Media Theorist

"The age of automation is going to be the age of "do it yourself"."

Karl Marx Philosopher, Economist

"An organised system of machines, to which motion is communicated by the transmitting mechanism from a central automation, is the most developed form of production by machinery."

Hannah Arendt Philosopher, Political Theorist

"It is a society of laborers which is about to be liberated from the ferrets of labor, and this society does no longer know of those other higher and more meaningful activities for the sake of which this freedom would deserve to be won."
