Why should everyone work? Write five sentences.

Generally, people are required to work - and often work long hours - in order to earn enough money to live on.

This shouldn’t be remotely necessary, of course - because we easily have the technology for us all to be living the life of leisure and perhaps to be working only a few hours each per week, on average.

So why aren’t we doing this? Well, perhaps there are two main reasons:

Firstly, we have squandered most of the benefits or potential benefits of advanced technology. Take, for example, all the computer technology we have available to us. Sure, in some industries, computers are put to very good use. They often run the machinery in factories and enable us to manufacture vast quantities of products, with very little human input.

On the other hand, look at all the computers we use in offices all around the world. Computers, it is claimed, can help us do our office work much more efficiently. And, theoretically, they could. If we took all the paperwork we used to have to do - e.g. 40 years ago - and used computers to help us do that paperwork, our offices could be run much more efficiently and we could be living the life of leisure.

But what really happens when we have computers in our offices, is that we require office workers to produce ever more paperwork, seemingly just to keep them busy. Unsatisfied with the limited amount of paperwork we had to start with, we now have ever more risk assessments and performance reviews and reports and evaluations and presentations - and so on and so on and so on!

Are today’s offices actually run much more efficiently than they used to be? We can’t be at all confident that they are - even though we expend vast resources on building and maintaining the computer systems that are supposed to enable them to run more efficiently.
