Too Many Boards! by Harl Vincent:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"SINCE time immemorial, it seems to us, man has rebelled against every tendency toward what seemed to him an infringement of his personal liberty. But in every age some new law seems to be invented specially to increase man's misery. The next line of action seems to be beautifully laid out for us already — that is, the next really important change. But that — and the author tells about it in this story — will probably not go through, however, until life has become somewhat more standard- ized, which, on the other hand, can't be so far off at that. "
