Answer 2

Machinery has not proved to be an unmixed blessing. Whereas it has undoubtedly conferred untold benefits on mankind, it is also associated with certain evils. Some of these evils are given below:

Monotony:

Machinery has made the laborer’s monotonous and irksome. The worker has nothing to do except to go on performing a few mechanical operations day in and day out. It has increased nervous strain.

Loss of Skill:

The craftsman with the superior skill had disappeared. Such skill is no longer necessary. The only type of skill that is needed now is to run the machines. The man who made the Dacca muslin has now only to look after the running of a machine. What a great national loss!

Goods not Artistic:

A painting is a thousand times more beautiful than a photograph. The former has character and colour, the latter is just a print without individuality. From the point of view of art, it is a great loss.

Dependence:

Machinery has increased our dependence on others. We depend for our water and light on the satisfactory working of water-works and the power-house. A small flaw would result in the supply of these necessaries being cut off at any time. This may mean not only inconvenience but serious dislocation of normal life.

Destructive:

Man’s capacity to destroy and harm has grown a thousand-­fold. Look at an atom bomb. A flourishing city like Hiroshima was destroyed in a moment. Wars have become more terrible now. We must condemn machinery for the destruction it can bring.
