The loss of jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due mainly to
changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the shift of
corporations from the industrial countries to the Third World.
The present technological developments have been compared to a Third Industrial
Revolution. The first, coming in the 19th century, was characterized by the steam engine
and the use of coal. In the 1920s the second emerged with the use of oil and the
electrodynamo. The third, and present one, is driven by computers, biotechnology and
information technology.
However, there can be seen weaknesses in the newest of industrial revolutions. The
technology is advancing so fast and productivity is rising so fast that we are left with a
big problem. Because of the loss in jobs, caused largely by this new technology, there
will not be enough people with money to buy all these products.
Technology has definitely enhanced our standard of living, even our quality of life. But
as the capacity to produce expands and the lack of purchasing power and consequent
demand diminish, there can be overproduction and recession, and what happens to our
standard of living?
