During the Great Depression, many argued that displacement by advancing technology was the root cause of unemployment. This video shows an excerpt of a film designed to convince people that technology was job-creating. It comes from a longer film whose plot involves a family that goes to the 1939 World's Fair in New York. The daughter is engaged to a down-to-Earth engineer but is temporarily smitten by a left-wing, modern artist. The two debate the technology-jobs issue in this scene.
