C. Nhiều người sẽ không còn cần những thứ vô dụng như móng ngựa nữa.
D. Công nhân sẽ sử dụng ít thời gian hơn trong sản xuất với sự giúp đỡ của máy móc.
Căn cứ thông tin đoạn 4:
To be clear, mechanization has always cost us jobs. The mechanical loom, for instance, put weavers out of business. But it also created jobs. Mechanics had to keep the machines going, machinists had to make parts for them, and workers had to attend to them, and so on.
(Rõ ràng rằng sự cơ giới hóa luôn luôn được đánh đổi bằng chính công ăn việc làm của chúng ta. Ví dụ, máy dệt cơ khí sẽ loại bỏ người thợ dệt ra khỏi ngành này. Nhưng nó cũng tạo ra công ăn việc làm. Thợ máy phải giữ cho máy móc hoạt động, các thợ chế tạo máy phải chế tạo các bộ phận cho máy móc, và công nhân phải có mặt làm cùng với máy móc, vân vân).If Tom ____________ a bit more ambitious, he would have found himself a better job years ago.
