An executive was presenting to the company board: "Computers have allowed us to cut costs," he explained. "We expect even more dramatic improvements as they become increasingly self-sufficient." He then unveiled a large chart depicting a man, a dog, and a computer. "Here is our organization plan of the future."
"What kind of plan is that?" demanded a board member.
"It's simple," replied the executive. "The man's job is to feed the dog. The dog's job is to bite the man if he touches the computer."
