This is the basis of the ularity of techhocracy. pitts But the answer is not the stop- ping of. mechanical invention, but the speeding up of social inven- tion — unemployment insurance, city managers, marital clinics, etc. The machines are running ahead of us. : We must either slow up the changes that are coming too fast or speed up those that are com- ing too slowly. In most cases, especially where machines have already been put to use, there is Pop- no chance to undo the work al-|, ready done. Nothing is left in such cases but to speed up the social changes.
