Old and New, Machines and Jobs

Old and New, Machines and Jobs Amma reminisces the good old tanga transport prevalent in Dharwad and old Mysore.  I am an engineer by education, and a make a living in the technology. But I am a human first, and have thought for many years about how mechanization causes job-loss, and whether or not it is a desired trait for the society. I can argue on either sides, but with the broader perspective of mankind (and also animal-kind and plant-kind), I tend to side with forces that preserve the natural (or God-given) abilities. Meanwhile, BBC reports how technology is costing art jobs as well in India. For those interested in the history of machines, jobs, and their impact on social life, I recommend my father's last book The Return Journey (Marupayana in Kannada). (Comments Disabled for Now.
