2. Automation is the use of machines to reduce the need for human labor. In other words
automation is when jobs done by people become jobs done by robots. Automation can be a good
thing. Clothing, cars, and other manufactured products are available at good prices and in large
supply because of automation. But automation can also be a bad thing. Because of automation
there are over 700,000 robots in America that do jobs once performed by humans. The way of
automation may not be best for humanity, but it is the course we are taking.
