Giải thích: Dự đoán của Alan Toffler đã được chứng minh là đúng.
Thông tin: One constant prediction was that, thanks to computers and machines, the time devoted to labour would diminish. Even in 1971, in his book Future Shock, Alvin Toffler envisaged a society awash with 'free time'. The author noted that time at work had been cut in half since the turn of the previous century and wrongly speculated that it would be cut in half again by 2000.
Tạm dịch: Một dự đoán chắc chắn là nhờ máy tính và máy móc, thời gian dành cho lao động sẽ giảm đi. Ngay cả vào năm 1971, trong cuốn sách “Cú sốc tương lai”, Alvin Toffler đã dự tính một xã hội tràn ngập 'thời gian rảnh'. Tác giả lưu ý rằng thời gian tại nơi làm việc đã bị cắt giảm một nửa kể từ đầu thế kỷ trước và suy đoán sai rằng nó sẽ bị cắt giảm một nửa vào năm 2000.
