Passage 2


Machines, I take it, were invented to be man's servants. Their justification lies in their ability to increase productivity and to diminish human ton. In so far as they produce these results, machines are beneficial; in so far as they do not, they are neither beneficial nor harmful but unnecessary That machinery has increased production is obvious, that it has lightened human toil is, however, very far from being the case. Men never worked so hard as in the nineteenth century when machines first became important; they never had so little leisure as they have today when machines are dominant. Men's new-won ability to exploit the forces of nature might have been expected to increase their leisure, and to confer a certain spaciousness and dignity upon their lives. Yet they live at greater pressure than before, and the whole urgency of the modern world is towards speeding up, greater efficiency and more intense competition, when it ought to be towards more ease, less hurry and greater co-operation. These evil results are due not to the fact that machines exist, but to the fact that they are revered. ​
