In “Automation,” Adam Greenfield argues that automation will have a significant impact on labor. In the most extreme circumstances, automation
technologies will eliminate human workers. However, Greenfield argues that we should understand automation to also include those technologies that more
simply reduce the need for workers. In such a context, workers will be asked to do more, for lower wages, under more precarious conditions, at a higher pace.
Discuss in detail Greenfield’s argument defending the claim that automation will make work and working conditions worse. Use examples from the real world
to exemplify Greenfield’s argument.
