Traditional vs Modern Textile Industry
"In developed countries almost all traditional work in the textile sector is done by machinery. This trend will continue in the future threatening jobs in developing countries, where (currently) wages are lower than the costs of technological investment. The problem today is that only a few people benefit from the use of technology and money. But the majority of people in developed and developing countries are forced to work a great deal to avoid unemployment and make a living. Increasing economic inequality causes tension in society, resulting in crime, violence and wars. Extrapolating this trend into the future, it is evident that we need a systematic change so that society as a whole will profit from increased automation. See The Venus Project for more information."
