答案The advent of new technology has meant that nowadays, machines are more than capable of doing many of the tasks and jobs that people used to do. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this development. One of the main advantages of having machines do work relates to speed and efficiency. Machines tend to be much faster and more efficient at doing repetitive type tasks such as those performed in factories. In addition, the human error factor is eliminated, further saving time and cost. Also, although machines might require a more expensive initial outlay, their long-term usage is much more economical than paying human wages by the time factors such as sick leave, annual leave and wasted time are included. However, there are also several disadvantages. Machines cannot be used for every task, as often the "human touch" is necessary in completing certain tasks. For instance, a machine cannot as yet interface with a customer or client in the same way as a human employee. Nor can they create new ideas or concepts in the innovative way that people can. Machines are also unable to show initiative. In addition, many types of machinery require considerable and sometimes costly maintenance which can reduce their overall cost effectiveness. In conclusion, machinery certainly has its place in society, supporting and freeing up people’s work time so that they are able to concentrate on more interesting work, and work to their strengths. However, machinery also has its limitations and these need to be recognized in weighing up their advantages and disadvantages.
