Yep. Henry Ford and his production line.

But it has gone so much further.

When I was a boy London had a factory every few streets. Now there are precisely none. And offices? Well there used to be lots of typists. Find me one to-day. Banks, lots of clerks meticulously adding up collumns of figures - now a pc and done in moments. Mines - well look at those humungous machines, rip out thousands of tons with one guy driving. Motorway construction - the machine moves along, virgin land on one side motorway the other (well, that is a bit of an exaggeration but not much). And agriculture. Look at a combine harvester - where are the millions of jobs in agriculture now? Gone. The whole of London used to go down to the Kent hop fields at harvest time. I have some sepia photos of the people. It was a holiday. They picked the hops. To-day I watched three peole with one tractor harvest a hop field in under an hour - hops processed at the end of it.

It is all good news. No one should have to work in a mine and hop picking cuts your hands to ribbons.

But we must find a way to share the wealth. The wage mechanism used up to now will no longer work.
