The Fast Approaching Future of 1953

“To the astute futurists of 1953 it had already become clear that the future of manufacturing would soon involve highly automated mechanized assembly plants. These plants would be populated by robotic workers who would arrive at the factory right on schedule every day, without hangovers, place their robotic lunchboxes in their lockers in the break room, punch the clock and walk over to the tool rack, grab their soldering irons and get right to work. At 5:00, they would get in their cars and return to the suburbs, where they would spend the evening with their robotic families.”
