Big Bad Automation

I read it once that the term Automation came from a Greek term "Automatos" which means "Self-Acting". The Self-Acting part, is what fascinated me the most. I started to think of ROBOT with brains(no processor). I imagined machines which could do anything done by a human manually.




My thought process didn't end there. First i started thinking of devices/machines which could do basic stuf like sharpen a pencil. Then i thought, of a machine which could actually use that sharpening machine to sharpen the pencil. Then i thought of a machine which will produce pencils. And so on.

This eventually led me to a model where there is an Eco-system where there is input(minimal) and there is output. the rest of the equation should be a black box. This kind of sounded like factory automation.

As i observed the world around me, i realized that the word "Automatos" was no longer a word.
Its because of this word, that we are what we are today. We will fail if we don't have automation in out eco-space.

The reason is simple. Efficiency.
Or is it?

It is known and a well accepted fact that Human or animals for that matter, are the most efficient machines created by God. The only input is few ounces of calories and the output is unlimited supply of "I COULD NOT FIND A SUITABLE WORD"



Then why is man, trying to replace the most efficient machine on this planet.

This has many answers. Man cannot work like a car or a Television or an Air conditioner.
He cannot replace a website with his palm.
I am convinced that as part of evolution, Automation has been integrated and injected our worlds. As a mater of fact, Automation has its own evolution.

The word Automation has been highly under-rated (Due to IT syndrome, I guess)
Right from the first 2+2 calculator to huge Boeing work-shops, every thing is about Automation.

ARE WE LAZY?
NO. WE WANT TO BE FAST and BIG and that too QUICKLY



Next thing which will probably shoot in you mind, is,
HOW TO AUTOMATE AUTOMATION!!  He Ha Ha(Like Devil)
