In the Age of the Smart Machine    Shoshana Zuboff
 
Section One Analysis: The Future of the Workplace
 
"There is a world to be lost and a world to be gained."
 

The first half of the essay outlines alternatives for the future in respect to advancing technology in the workplace.
 
 
 Major Questions raised by Section One:

Will the future bring:

1.  a more ignorant and obtuse-minded work force?
2.  the rise of meaningless jobs?
3.  workers with no self-rule in their job environments?
4.  effects of strong economies or an out-dated industrial age?
5.  rejuvenated competitiveness and quality?

AND:

6.  What can we accurately predict about the future and what depends on our immediate
     choices?
