People have speculated for centuries about a future without work.Today is no
different， with academics， writers， and activists once again 1 that technology is
replacing human workers. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be
defined by 2 . A few wealthy people will own all the capital， and the masses will
struggle in an impoverished wasteland..
A different and not mutually exclusive 3 holds that the future will be a wasteland
of a different sort， one 4 by purposelessness： Without jobs to give their lives 5 ，
people will simply become lazy and depressed. 6 today’s unemployed don’t seem to
be having a great time. One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have
been unemployed for at least a year report having depression， double the rate for 7
Americans. Also， some research suggests that the 8 for rising rates of mortality，
mental-health problems， and addicting9 poorly-educated middle-aged people is
shortage of well-paid jobs. Perhaps this is why many 10 the agonizing dullness of a
jobless future.
But it doesn’t 11 follow from findings like these that a world without work
would be filled with unease. Such visions are based on the 12 of being unemployed
in a society built on the concept of employment. In the 13 of work， a society
designed with other ends in mind could 14 strikingly different circumstances for the
future of labor and leisure. Today， the 15 of work may be a bit overblown. “Many
jobs are boring， degrading， unhealthy， and a waste of human potential，” says John
Danaher， a lecturer at the National University of Ireland in Galway.
These days， because leisure time is relatively 16 for most workers， people use
their free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional 17 of their jobs.
“When I come home from a hard day’s work， I often feel 18 ，” Danaher says，
adding， “In a world in which I don’t have to work， I might feel rather
different”—perhaps different enough to throw himself 19 a hobby or a passion
project with the intensity usually reserved for 20 matters.

Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km
around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has
inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands
of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range
from Andrew Baddeley's world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.
Parkrun is succeeding where London's Olympic "legacy" is failing. Ten years

Strangers are inherently 8 to us, so we are more likely to feel 9 when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances.
