A summary and evaluation of the world of work in light of these criteria follows. Life in the fax lane is stressful. Computers are indifferent to the word balance. However, if we are to find balance, if we are to remain healthy in an unhealthy age, we the workers, users, and creators of computers and their applications must take more responsibility for the effects or consequences to society of the use of new computer technologies. Many jobs fail criteria two because the products and services created do not at heart seek to ensure that everyone is first provided with the essentials needed for even a minimal standard below which we will allow no one to live.
Good work is good for the individual but also includes a social dimension.
Principle centered business tries to incorporate this social concept into the very fabric of its business plan. Good work nurtures our spirits as we nurture others' spirits. Good work focuses on creating opportunities in the form of jobs, careers, and industries devoted to community well-being. Good work does not try to maximize the sale of goods and services solely for the sake of profit, stockholders, consumption or the satisfaction of advertising stimulated wants and desires, over essentials and needs. Evolving toward an economy primarily based on good work will witness the demise of some jobs and industries and the growth of others.
