Some people think that performing work manually is better than performing work by machine. However I think it is more efficient to do work by machine. This is mainly because it not only saves time and money but also produces more precious result.
To begin with, working by machine is cost-efficient as well as time-efficient. Although the first investment cost of machine can be significant, the cost for maintaining and operating the machine later on is much lower than that of hiring people. Also, it saves time in that machines do not have any rest time or lunch time as humans do. For example, there was a poll conducted by Rights of Workers Committee of Korea in 2008 with factory owners as respondents. The purpose of the survey was to understand the consensus view that introducing machines at workplace can reduce the various costs. The majority of respondents ranked working by machine over working by hand. An overwhelming 73% had responded that carrying out work by machine is more efficient. This is because the cost for machine is much cheaper than paying for human employees. Unlike human employees whom they need to pay extra working hour wage and benefits for incentives, machine do not need any addtional costs. What is more, machine works 24/7, which means they can work even at an emergecy situation and holidays. This study proves that the people have a preferable view of machine when doing work.
On top of that, machine can conduct work more precisely than human. Human naturally makes mistakes when they are distracted. But machine do not make any mistake and they perform the tasks accurately. For instance, when I was freshman, I did a part-time job at English academy to correct errors in text books. It was like finding missing or wrong letters in paragraphs. At first, I did quite well, however as time went by, I lost my concentration and unintentionally made some mistakes. Luckily, a few months later, my workplace introduced a machine that picks out errors in textbooks. And it carried out works very precisely and fast. From then, I did not have to worry about mistakes I will make and released from being tired and bored of reading all the materials. And it was time when I realized that machine is better than human in some aspects in that it conducts works more accurately than human.
In a nut shell, performing work by machine can reduce money and time took for working and can produces more accurate results. In this regard, I feel that conducting work by machine is more better than doing work manually. |
