5. Non intuitive happenings
Some happenings are non intuitive:
- Time saving devices are meant to save time. But inhabitants
of the countries which have most time saving devices are
busiest people. Rural people have lots of time.
- When computers first came, there was a fear that they will
lead to lot of unemployment, since one computer operator
would be able to do work of a lot of clerks. However,
jobs created by the computer industry more than offsetted
jobs taken by it. Computer industry employs so many people!
Probably such phenomena happen because of insatiable human
nature. Humans want to do and get more and more.
In the light of above, maybe, the fear of outsourcing leading
to unemployment is also misplaced. Once western countries
can do more with low cost using outsourcing, remaining will
not sit idly, rather it would employed to produce even more.
Many economists understand it and are in favor of outsourcing.
