A classic battle, that has always been argued about but never resolved.

A state showing how certain things when taken apart, destroy everything. It is a masterpiece that unveils the battle between a living thing and an inanimate object, two different things with two different characteristics. Follow this epic and read through pages 2 to 6 to get what I mean.

Since the early fifties, humans have been creating machines that become more resourceful and more useful in terms of the production of goods in the industry. These sophisticated machines have been built to perform complex operations, often in hostile environments, and be the control in a certain production. But even though these fancy machines may seem to b independent, they still need humans to take care of them and regulate their performance. As perfect as they seem, machines are still dependent of people and can never replace humans in the workplace. So generally, man and machine have a few similarities and a lot of differences when it comes to, quality, accuracy, and quantity. The quality of goods produced seems to be a battle for perfection. Man is a perfectionist, making sure every product is free of flaws. Machine on the other hand, is just a working mechanism, programmed to be perfect and made for perfection. And even though machines make products 80% faster than humans, there are a lot of flaws and imperfections in the products, which are carefully checked by trained professionals to ensure the quality of the created products and or service. A great example of a quality controlled product is the wine glass. As simple as it may look, wine glasses go through a series of rigorous processes including heating, shaping, and cooling of the glass to a fine product by the machine. Hired professionals seek for imperfections after

the machines have created several wine glasses. Humans come in and use their sense of sight and touch, to seek imperfections, choose whether it would go to packaging or if it would be recycled since machines are unable to seek flaws in products. The human brain has a lot of flaws, yet it also has an edge over the machine. It has the capacity to create. Unlike the machine that is powered by a computer it cannot function without full input and relentless programming, to make logical assumptions on problems. A person can work with a variety of methods, seeking new, more efficient ways of handling problems unlike the machine, that can only use a method that is programmed to it, and cannot come up with a solution to solve problems that pop-up unexpectedly. But, despite the fact that machines need to be programmed, they are more accurate than humans. One flaw of the human brain is accuracy, Say a man can calculate as fast as a machine could, but can he achieve a 100% rate of accuracy? No, because we have a low ability to hold errors in operation. This is the edge of the machine to man. While men are used to control and regulate the computer-operated machines, machines are used to make accurate measurements in making products. An example of this is in car painting. Car manufacturers ensure the accuracy in the amount of paint used, and the thickness of the coat. Men, seek out parts that were unevenly painted and or scratched, and formed bubbles, to ensure the quality of the vehicles since machines already produced the perfect amount of paint to be sprayed to every nook and cranny. Machines are less prone to make mistakes in operation that is why machines are more accurate than men.

In the area of quantity, machines take the lead since it produces more products in lesser time than humans ever could. Humans are known for quality in their work while manufacturing machines are known for their greatness in mass production. Most manufacturing business owners care more about the quantity of goods that would be produced that is why they replace the slow-paced humans with fast-paced machines that make thrice as much products made by humans in half the time. Imagine how long it would take a human to make a simple bag of plain potato chips. Peeling, slicing, frying and packing just a bag of potato chips would take forever if a human would make it. While the human is creating one bag of potato chips, the machine wouldve created a hundred even a thousand bags of assorted potato chips packed and ready for shipping. Machines, great inventions made for complex functions, can produce thrice as much goods than humans that is why when it comes to quantity, machines tend to be better and more useful in terms of production.

Through the years, man has come up with countless inventions, each more useful than the last. However, creating these machines pose a threat to human

existence in the fields of industry and manufacturing. Thus, we must always remember that machines should not take over everything we have started. Man invented machine therefore man should be able to control his machine. And even though production is a battle for perfection, manual and machine labor are two equally necessary ways of labor in the industry. They have a few similarities and a lot of differences when it comes to the quality, accuracy, and quantity of goods produced. We must respect these facts and learn to live with it to promote a better manufacturing industry.
