Abstract
The different views of automation held by labor, industry, and the man in the street are discussed as well as how automation has developed logically in an evolutionary way. Automation is also shown to be necessary even to maintain the present rate of improvement in the standard of living and therefore an absolute necessity for continued American progress.
