People have speculated for centuries about a future without work.Today is no
different,with academics,writers,and activists once again that technology be
replacing human workers.Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined
by.A few wealthy people will own all the capital,and the masses will struggle in
an impoverished wasteland.
A different and not mutually exclusive holds that the future will be a wasteland
of a different sort,one by purposelessness:Without jobs to give their lives,
people will simply become lazy and depressed,today’s unemployed don’t seem
to be having a great time.One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who
have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression,double the rate
for Americans.Also,some research suggests that the for rising rates of mortality,
mental-health problems,and addicting poorly-educated middle-aged people is
shortage of well-paid jobs.Perhaps this is why many the agonizing dullness of a
jobless future
But it doesn’t follow from findings like these that a world without work would
be filled with unease.Such visions are based on the of being unemployed in a
society built on the concept of employment.In the of work,a society designed with
other ends in mind could strikingly different circumstanced for the future of labor
and leisure.Today,the of work may be a bit overblown.“Many jobs are boring,
degrading,unhealthy,and a waste of human potential,”says John Danaher,a lecturer at
the National University of Ireland in Galway.
These days,because leisure time is relatively for most workers,people use their
free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional of their jobs.“When I
come home from a hard day’s work,I often feel,”Danaher says,adding,“In a
world in which I don’t have to work,I might feel rather different”—perhaps different
