I think it's relevant internationally even Engineering education and formation is different between countries.

I thought it would be good to share it in this forum.

  • Andy and Roy,

    I completely agree. I also remember the leisure time we were promised through automation, though I remember the promises being made in the seventies, but if you think about society you will realise it is here. It is not 'enjoyed' by everyone as some have to work full hours and others have plenty of leisure time (otherwise known as 'the unemployed'). It just shows the truth of the old saying "it is very difficult to make predictions, particularly about the future!"

    The investigations Roy mentions look fascinating - definitely an opportunity to gain an in depth insight into the problem.
