He just called, that he was laid off last 2weeks, because of the introduction of new machine.
235 workers, inspite of their high skilled experiences.

What is the fate of manking if machines will virtually do every work?
The possibility of loss of employment was realized during the onset of the machine age. The application of steam engine heralded the industrial revolution, it dramatically extended the power and ability of the community.
No longer was human strength and endurance the limiting factor in achievements.
Machine could be constructed to work harder faster cheaper and more reliability than any group of people. However, the initial implementation of machines meant MASS UNEMPLOYMENT.

Machines do no create jobs, they definitely eradicate the need for human effort. The truth is not only people are now surplus but a liability.
Every modern system is designed to minimize or exclude human intervention. Nawaoh!

From Jet planes flown by computers with no need for navigator, to ATM dispensing money with no human agency, to Internet threatening newspaper, music, television and movie Industries, to the existence of library under threat etc.
So just as horse become obsolete and were phased out of work place so the People and machines are taking there places.

machines are definitely going to put people out of jobs but they reduce the strength and time required to carry out certain tasks. machines make life easier, even if they increase unemployment. they are a necessary evil.
