consider this amazing process of applied knowledge in Western
civilization, Shakespeare’s As You Like It provides a good deal
to think about. His forest of Arden is just such a golden world
of translated benefits and joblessness as we are now entering
via the gate of electric automation.
It is no more than one would expect that Shakespeare
should have understood the Forest of Arden as an advance
model of the age of automation when all things are
translatable into anything else that is desired:
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.
I would not change it.
