Progression Through the Years As time progresses we as people have become so dependent on our technology and machines that we rely on them to do the simplest things for us. You will most likely use some type of technology or machines everyday of your life. You will use a phone, computer, automated machines in town, you may even have machines at home. When dealing with others we have very little tolerance and respect. When on the phone with a business or doctor's office we rarely talk to an actual person, it is normally just a recording telling you your information. If we're not talking on the phone we are usually texting or on social media. Many times we just stay at home and shop, work, and other things online instead of actually getting out of the house and interacting with others. During these times parents are not teaching their children good skills to use with others. Machines are good at low-skill repetitive jobs and also high-speed precise jobs. This makes it easier and faster for people to get the products they need for living. There is also more time for people to spend with their families since they aren't working extensive hours in factories. The downside to this is this puts several people out of a job and the machines may not be very accurate. Things used to be made more durable than they are now. This could be because people rely on machines to do work for them because it's easier and so they don't have to deal with it. For example, L.L. Bean merchandise is hand-made in the United States. Everything they make is durable and last forever. Many other brands have their stuff shipped in from other countries and their stuff wouldn't last as long because they rely on machines more just to mass produce things. Machines are not always a bad thing. They get things done fast and efficiently. That doesn't mean we should fire all the workers and replace them with machines. There are some jobs machines are better at and then there are some jobs that humans are better at. It is good to have a balance of this because if they work together everything will be good. For example, if a machine breaks you would need a human to fix it, you couldn't just have another machine fix it. Kids and teens nowadays are lacking the basic trade skills they should know. Therefore, machines can be good and machines can be bad. We shouldn't have to rely on them so much to live everyday lives but we can use them for assistance.
