TLDR
Present production techniques do not provide an environment for the development of skills in training hence the retention of an apprenticeship model is fundamental as “The experiences of the senses and practical intellect are perhaps an essential complement and prerequisite of the successful automation of industry”.Abstract:
Behind the concept of the automated factory lies the view of knowledge in which all human thought and action can be logically described in a formalized language, and in which all conceivable activities are predictable. So far all attempts to realize this vision have refuted this as being the case. The problem with automating propositional knowledge can be illustrated in analogy to the use of formulae at the expense of practice which means an enormous loss in association material when it comes to tackling problems. It is important to limit use of formalizations to ensure freedom of action through the ability to have a feel for things. Present production techniques do not provide an environment for the development of skills in training hence the retention of an apprenticeship model is fundamental as “The experiences of the senses and practical intellect are perhaps both an essential complement and prerequisite of the successful automation of industry”.
