An interesting look at life in the year 2008 circa 1968. My favorite part:
The average work day is about four hours. But the extra time isn’t totally free. The pace of technological advance is such that a certain amount of a jobholder’s spare time is used in keeping up with the new developments—on the average, about two hours of home study a day
4 hours … with the 2 hours of home study a day… unbelievable. i think people like to romanticize the future cuz its a bit depressing thinking we’ll still be slugging along much the same way we are now.
