melvin 1 Report post Posted September 16, 2001 AUTOMATION is making itself in such different ways as setting newspaper type, but believe it or not, fly a plane. Bottling, canning, and packaging are largely self-acting processes but all automatic systems and controls, it`s the milita- ry which have the best, be- cause they use the most e- laborate kind of electronic equipments for detecting an enemy, for bombing and firing guns, and for direc- ting guided missiles ac- curately towards the target say, a perceived enemy sat- ellite, or warship. Such automatic machines do have the many things that human hands and brains used to do- doing it faster. What is more, self-operating sys- controls can do somethings that man can not do. For in- stance, space-travel engin- eers and scientists figure that perhaps a human being may not be able to think and act quickly enough to control a rocket when it takes off and during the period of ra- pidly growing speed. To solve this problem, they let the rocket operate in the automa- tic mode, not knowing that it could create mind-boggling problems that may led to a ca- tastrophic disaster, if the that rocket on automatic pilot no longer obeys the commands of its human controllers. It was on 1920 that a Czech au- thor, Karel Capek, wrote a play about mechanical men that were invented to do many kinds of work. These are robots for farm work, others for factory work, and so on. In the end, the ro- bots learned to think and feel like human beings. They revolt and made slaves of the men who created them. The name of this fantastic play is R.U.R( Ros- sums Universal Robot), perhaps known to a few as URUKRAMA. It`s a PLAY that is actually happening today, when it all began on September 11, 2001.
