The Age of Forced Leisure
In the industrial revolution, we (”us”, as opposed to “them”) were dragged off the fields and stuffed into factories. People worked for housing and a pittance or starved.
Now the factories are closed or automated, and we all have lots of free time. They (”them”) are now trying to force us to watch more TV and buy CDs and DVDs.
Don’t know how that’s relevant. Just thought I’d share.
