PRECIS
One of the defects of our civilization is that it does not know what to do with its knowledge. Science, as we have seen, has given us powers fit for the gods, yet we use them as small children. For example, we do not know how to manage our machines. Machines were made to be man’s servants, yet he has grown so dependent on them that they are in a fair way to become his masters. Most men spend most of their lives looking after and waiting upon machines. And the machines are very stern masters. They must be fed with coal, and given petrol to drink, and oil to wash with, and they must be kept at the right temperature. And if they do not get their meals when they expect them, they grow sulky and refuse to work, burst with rage and blow up and spread ruin and destruction all round them. So we must wait upon them attentively and do all we can to keep them in good temper.
Already we find it difficult either to work or play without the machines and a time may come when they will rule us all together, just as we rule the animals.

| Human Depends on Machine |
Answer:-
Human Depends on Machine
Civilization has given people scientific knowledge but has not given them a way to use it properly. People have invented instruments to work as servants, but the opposite has happened. Today, man is so dependent on them that he cannot live without them. He has to spend his life taking care of them. Otherwise, they bring a lot of destruction. People's dependence on machinery is increasing day by day.
