This Reminds Me Of...

This reminds me of a Chapter in a book I read talking about how when new technology comes along and puts people out of work there's major backlash against it just because of the people losing work; they fail to see the long lasting benefits of the technology because people are losing their jobs NOW and something needs to be done about it!

Here's the book. It's not very long and it's an easy read:
Economics in One Lesson

Here's the chapter:
The Curse of Machinery
