It is an uncertain moment, a scary moment. It is the kind of moment in history when, to summarize in the words of Alfred North Whitehead, familiar patterns fade, familiar solutions fail, and familiar options disappear. Of course, the books and periodicals. that are warning society about the removal of jobs, "the end of work", and wage decreases only serve to increase public anxiety - a slow-motion variation of shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater. These alarming forecasts are largely simple projections of the past two or three decades of workplace trends. However, in the absence of plausible alternative explanations for the gloomy economic news of the past 15 to 20 years and the gloomier prospects implicit in the projections of those trends.
这是个变幻莫测的时刻，一个引起恐慌的时刻。我们不妨用阿尔弗雷德•诺思•怀特海德的话来加以归纳：在历史上的这种时刻，熟悉的模式在消失，熟悉的解决办法在失效，熟悉的选择也在消失。当然，那些向社会警告工作岗位消失、“工作完蛋了”和工资减少的书刊杂志只不过是起到了增加公众焦虑的作用──这就好像是在播放有人在拥挤的戏院里大叫“着火啦”那种景象的慢镜头。 这些吓人的预测大体上是在过去20或30年的职场趋势的基础上对未来所作的简单推断。然而，由于对过去15至20年里令人沮丧的经济信息及暗含在那些趋势预测中的更为令人沮丧的前景没有其他合理的解释。
