When I was a teenager (warning - ancient history lesson coming up!), we were regaled with promises of the paperless office and factory automation - leading to a life of leisure (and luxury). Now people work longer hours than ever before - and many are never really off duty - being permanently connected to the office network.
Where did it all go wrong?
This is one of life's great productivity paradoxes - increasing automation results in more work for people, not less.
For your part, you should think through the consequences of production/process decisions - for you and your workforce; there may be implications you didn't think about at first.
