Put another way, globalization lowered the wages of low-skill advanced-country workers because others would perform their jobs more cheaply, and then consume the value that they had created. Computers mean that higher-skill workers – and the lower-skill workers who remain to oversee the large robotic factories and warehouses – can spend their time on more valuable activities, assisted by computers that demand little.
换句话说，全球化拉低了低技能发达国家工人的工资，因为其他人能更廉价地完成它们的工作，然后将他们所创造的价值消费掉。计算机意味着更高技能的工人——以及留下来看管大型机器人化工厂和车间的较低技能的工人——能将时间用于更有价值的活动中，并由几乎无所求的计算机来协助他们。
