Abstract
Automation as a process of supplanting humans or combinations of humans and devices with devices or other human-device combinations has many aspects and effects on individuals. To provide a comprehensive view of this complex domain, these aspects and effects are set forth in two frameworks. To suggest generalizations, comparisons are offered between factory and office automation, with examples of similarities and differences.Keywords
