  130. In a society where slavery in the strict sense has been abolished, the sign that what a man does is of social value is that he is paid money to do it.
  131. What from the point of view of society is necessary labor is from his own point of view voluntary play.
  132. Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends, not on the job itself, but on the tastes of the individual who undertakes it.
  133. It is already possible to imagine a society in which the majority of the population, that is to say, its laborers, will have almost as much leisure as in earlier times was enjoyed by the aristocracy.
  134. The masses are more likely to replace an unchanging ritual by fashion which it will be in the economic interest of certain people to change as often as possible.
  135. Workers seldom commit acts of violence, because they can put their aggression into their work, be it physical like the work of a smith, or mental like the work of a scientist or an artist.

  148. The computer makes possible a marvellous leap in human proficiency.
  149. But the question persists and indeed grows whether the computer will make it easier or harder for human beings to know who they really are…。
  150. There may be a tendency to mistake data for wisdom, just as there has always been a tendency to confuse logic with values, and intelligence with insight.
  151. To the extent, then, that man fail to distinguish between the intermediate operations of electronic intelligence and the ultimate responsibilities of human decision, the computer could prove a digression.
  152. It may promote undue confidence in concrete answers.
  153. …before we lose ourselves in celebrating the victory, we might reflect on the great advances in the human situation that have come about because men were challenged by error and would not stop thinking and exploring until they found better approaches for dealing with it.
  154. For the danger is not so much that man will be controlled by the computer as that he may imitate it.
  155. Even to speculate on it is a gain.
  156. If you persist in ignoring my instructions, I shall have to punish you.
