Answer 2

I think it may be assembly line...

Answer 3

I feel like assembly line was an early factory concept wayyy before 1984 so it can't be right

Answer 4

"Technology and new ways of organizing work have revolutionized the American factory since the Golden Age of the 1980s. Today, U.S. factories produce twice as much stuff as they did in 1984, but with one-third fewer workers."
