BROADCAST: Jan. 13, 1975 | DURATION: 00:49:41

Synopsis

Computers and technology may be good for some people, however, printers John Kailen, Gerri Scott, Russ Wadleigh and Hank Orttinger don't see it that way. As members of typographical unions, they have a skilled trade, and their trade and jobs are being threatened by computers. Some felt their livelihoods were stabbed in the back by the computer.
