I feel like this article should be paired with a watching of "Farewell, Etaoin Shrdlu" (1978): https://vimeo.com/127605643 https://vimeo.com/127605643 A quote from the film: Printer: "I find it very sad. Very sad. I've learned the new stuff. The new processes and all. But I've been a printer now for 26 years. I've been in this place for 20 years. Six years apprenticeship, 20 years journeyman, and these are words that aren't just tossed around. They've always meant something to us printers. I hate to see it. It's inevitable that we're going to go into computers. All the knowledge I've acquired over these 26 years is all locked up in a little box now called a computer. And I think probably most jobs are going to end up the same way." Questioner: "Do you think computers are a good idea in general?" Printer: "Oh, there's no doubt about it. They're going to benefit everybody eventually. How long it will take, I don't know."
