6/10
Ahead of Time
7 November 2023
The CEO of the W V Whipple Manufacturing Co., Wallace V. Whipple, has inherited his father's company and decides to introduce automation to eliminate thousand of jobs and reduce the manufacturing costs. He exposes his plans to the old Chief Engineer Hanley and asks him to bring Foreman Dickerson to his office. He gives four months to Dickerson and his team before they are laid off. A couple of months later, Wallace learns the price of his technological innovation.

"The Brain Center at Whipple's" is an episode of "The Twilight Zone" ahead of time. The reality of 1964 was totally different from the last years, with technological advances including in manufacturing process. The conclusion shows what is happening with several successful jobs in the past, like typists, in the present days. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "O Centro da Inteligência da Whipple" ("The Intelligence Center at Whipple's")
