"In that case, I will inform Ye Fan of this news later, let him make preparations, and remember to tell him that there should be no trouble, otherwise he will be the only one to ask."

Seeing most of the people's opinions, Guo Fengxiao agreed with them, nodded his head, and passed the plan directly through internal decision-making.

In fact, with the advent of the wave of technology, some people will be eliminated sooner or later.

After all, the idea of ​​using machines to replace manpower was to improve work efficiency and liberate manpower, but many workers were laid off and went home without thinking, and were completely eliminated.

Could it be that inventors, or even technology, are the culprits that keep everyone starving?

Is advanced productivity a mistake?

What do we need, super high work efficiency, or let everyone have food, but low productivity?

The workers destroying the machines can only be explained by the word "revenge". You can't do anything to the capitalists, you can only vent your anger on the machine.

Machines can replace workers, indicating that the ability of machines has reached the level of workers.

It also shows that the level of workers is the same as that of machines, which forces workers to improve their technical level. If they exceed the level of machines, they will not be replaced by machines. Only in this way can society develop.

If we give up technology in order to keep everyone's jobs, it will only make society stagnate, and technology will only stagnate.

Just like the ancient dynasties, a large amount of arable land and agriculture was used to tie up the population so that everyone had food to eat, but what about social progress?

The progress was almost at the speed of a turtle, and it even went backwards for more than 300 years in the Qing Dynasty, which made China fall into dire straits.

In the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution in Europe, although many people were eliminated, and many people smashed machines to express their dissatisfaction, they still could not stop the progress of science and technology.

In the end, European strong ships and powerful shells opened the gate of the Qing Dynasty, and the history of blood and tears unfolded.

Therefore, what makes workers unemployed is not technology or capitalists, but the trend of social development and the tide of the general trend.

Capitalists must pursue the maximization of profits and save money, so of course they will fire a group of people.

Because this group of people can no longer meet his production needs.

What workers have to do is either exercise their business acumen and invest with the only funds they have, or improve their technology so that they will not be replaced by machines.

What exactly do we need? In my opinion, it is to improve work efficiency so that everyone can have food.

Early workers destroyed advanced machines because of the use of machines, which caused many workers to lose their jobs. However, unemployed workers have no guarantee of life, and it is very difficult to survive.

The Industrial Revolution brought about rapid technological progress and a rapid increase in labor productivity, improving the quality of life of both capitalists and workers, as well as the material and cultural level of society.

But at the same time, it also caused social problems such as environmental pollution, which have not been resolved until today.

The workers have become another kind of slaves. Their low-priced labor has created a large amount of capital for the capitalists. Their own living environment and material enjoyment are still so lacking, sacrificing their own living standards and opportunities for development. Feed those capitalists fat for nothing!

At the same time, the progress of science and technology has caused the unemployment of some people due to machinery. Because the efficiency has improved, some people who were originally employed have been eliminated, and even the profession he is engaged in no longer needs him. If he does not change jobs, he will starve to death. kind of.

No matter who it is, they will rise up and rise up to resist.

It's like one day, your boss told all the employees in your company that you can go home and drink Mistral, and all your work will be done by computers and robots.

what would you think

So the situation Guo Fengxiao is facing today is like the first industrial revolution back then, when machines robbed countless workers of their jobs.

A calm and peaceful night in the 1760s.

There is a family of merchants in Lancai County, Yingguo. The man is over 40 years old. He was an ordinary textile worker, but he invented a textile machine through his ingenuity and won a lot of rewards.

When their family was enjoying dinner and hard-won happiness at home happily, a group of thugs rushed into their home, smashed the textile machine that the male master worked so hard to invent, and drove them out of their home. house, and set fire to their house.

The thugs shouted: "Go to hell with the evil machine you made!"

The male owner had no choice but to bring his family to Nottinghamshire in the country. In order to make a living, he partnered with his friends to open a textile factory, and as a result they made more profits, which may be considered a blessing in disguise.

The man's name is James Hargreaves, and the loom he invented is the famous "Jenny Loom".

Since then, this scene has repeatedly appeared in history.

The emergence of new technologies has made a large number of workers unemployed, so hatred continues to breed in the hearts of these ordinary people.

With the continuous development of the industrial revolution, these negative emotions gradually turned into huge fruits, impacting the normal order of this society.

About a few decades later, a massive workers' uprising broke out in China. Unemployed workers formed gangs, burned and smashed machines in an organized and disciplined manner, and forced the employers to make concessions through violence.

This labor uprising was named the "Luddite Movement". The Chinese government took tough measures to suppress and massacre the uprising workers, extinguished the raging fire of the labor movement, and introduced a series of patent laws, invention laws, etc. policies to encourage the creation of highly efficient machines to replace human labor.

Since then, although labor movements have emerged one after another, they have not shaken China's industrial policy. It is precisely because of such a tough policy of the country that the country completed the first industrial revolution and became a veritable empire on which the sun never sets.

Today, with the extensive development of information technology and artificial intelligence technology, we are once again facing the problems encountered by the industrial revolution in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Therefore, the Luddite movement has more practical significance and is worthy of To be brought up and rethought by people.

Before the Industrial Revolution broke out in China, the Chinese government actually rejected the invention of machines extremely.

As early as 1551, Edward VI issued a decree prohibiting the use of raising machines. The reason is precisely because the high efficiency of the raising machine is "too harmful" to the industry.

According to historical data, "one worker and one child working with a raising machine for 12 hours is equivalent to one worker working for 88 hours", and there is also a saying that "one worker and two children using a raising machine can be equivalent to the workload of 8 people", This also means that the raising machine can replace the work of the cashmere cutter.
