By quoting Levi (2008) the author argues that "the ultimate impact of new advances will depend on the policy choices of governments, the production choices of firms, the labour supply and consumption behaviour of workers and consumers, and their voting behaviour as democratic citizens. Over time, some technologies will thus deploy faster than others and some occupations will be disrupted faster than others. The sequence and speed of developments and people’s reactions to the developments will jointly determine how the economy evolves"().
In the context of this argument, he pleads that technology is not a monocausal factor in the economic and industrial changes as assumed by the popular narrations of automation and its resulting job loss. But he places this main argument in how technology influences the entire industrial process. He gives an alternative viewpoint of how certain paradigmatic changes of economy, industry and labour are mediated through technology. "Even if new technologies do not necessarily destroy jobs, they will radically affect the quality and composition of jobs. They will affect how individuals find work and how they are monitored while performing it" The entire essence of the article can be seen in these precise words.
