Some people like doing work by hand. Others prefer using machines.Which do you prefer? Use specificreasons and examples to supportyour answer.

I prefer machines rather than work by hand. Machines can work fast , they can mass produce and less money is spent for their support then paying salaries to workers.

If something has to be done very fast the machines are the answer. Each and every machine has only one task and can perform it way faster than any human. In the past it took years to manufacture a single ship because each detail had to be put by hand and it was also very exhaustive for the workers , they had to do the same routines over and over again. Now one machine can do the job of a dozen men without any problems.

Mass production is one of the most important qualities of a good product. If something is good and people can get enough of it they will always buy it. In that context machines are irreplaceable. When everything is in its place and the buttons are pressed the manufacture can begin. The process can continue all day long.

When people get sick they have to leave their job for a period of time , meanwhile it can be very difficulty for the employer to replace them , but when a machine is broken it can start work again even the same day. While each employee has to be paid , no machine requires it. Also another important factor is the type of the job. If it is very unpleasant and for example disgusting , a worker may demand more money , while the robots don’t even care about the environment they work in , they just do their job , nothing more nothing less.

People are very important work force , but they can't compare to the machines when something has to be done very fast , for a little money , and in mass.
