machines
have higher efficiencies and controllable standards than hands, which means that it saves time. In current society, all of us know that time is money. At the same time, the standardized procedure makes it possible to reach a vast production. During the Industrial Revolution,
for example
, newly invented
machines
started to empower the factory, sharply reducing jobs for those work ladies,
however
, it hugely improved the working outcome.
On the other hand
, workers released from these entry-level jobs got another chance to learn complicated skills and achieved a higher goal in work.

kick out uniqueness and opportunities to experience producing on our own. In conclusion,
machines
and hands have their own pros and cons. For me, I reckon that I support the wide use of
machines
because I work in a pioneer technology industry and I know how much potential it can bring to us, completely beyond the imagination. So even though we have to sacrifice a lot, I still hold a positive attitude towards the machine workers.
