I remember the old propaganda films in school from the 50's and 60's. Back then, they thought that automation and yankee ingenuity would make work obsolete, and everybody would be able to just order whatever they wanted and we would all live peacefully and happily ever after. No need for an income, let the machines do it all.

Note this was actually propaganda, IBM and others paid to make sure people had a good view of computers.
Not that I'm complaining, anything that makes people have a better view of nerds is good.
