“The third great defect of our civilization is that it does not know what to do with its knowledge. Science has given us powers fit for the gods, yet we use them like 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 arc in a fair way to become his masters. Already 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, or burst with rage, and blow up and spread ruin and destruction all round them. So we have to wait upon them very attentively and do all that we can to keep them in a 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 altogether, just as we rule the animals. And this brings me to the point at which I asked “What do we do with all time which the machines have saved for us, and the new energy they have given us?” On the whole, it must be admitted, we do very little. For the most part we use our time and energy to make more and better machines, but more and better machines will only give us still more time and still more energy and what are we to do with them? The answer, I think, is that we should try to become more civilized. For the machines themselves, and the power which the machines have given us, are not civilization but aids to civilization. But you will remember that we agreed at the beginning that being civilized meant making and liking beautiful things, thinking freely, and living rightly and maintaining justice equally between man and man. Man has a better chance today to do these things than he ever had before, he has more time, more energy, less to fear and less to fight against. lf he will give his time and energy which his machines have won for him to making more beautiful things, to finding out more and more about the universe to removing the causes of quarrels between nations, to discovering how to prevent poverty, then I think our civilization would undoubtedly be the greatest, as it would be the most lasting that there has ever been.”

and any one make the precise of this paragraph.............

Undue dependence on Machines and their improper use.

Machines- Masters or Slaves???

1: Slave to machines
2: Try all the little chunks of time for more productive use

Machines must be machines, and men must be men. If machines, somehow or the other, try creeping into men's sphere, it's the beginning of their fading faith on each other. We, the men, are the makers and masters of machines: thus it should mean that they need human hand to operate; we, on the other hand, need not to rely totally on them in any walk of life. So, SAY NO TO MACHINES' ruling us !!!!! After all, they are not America to have got this much courageous.

"Man,being ignorant to the proper use of knowledge and heavenly powers endowed to him by science,has become the victim of gifts of science rather than beneficiary. Machines--The authoritarian master of ours should be given proper attention and care,otherwise the desired results can`t be achieved. Machines are made to be man`s servant but too much dependency on them is dragging us to the corner where they are becoming our masters. The author is of the idea that the time saved to us by the machines should be efficiently utilized to become civilized rather than making more and more efficient machines.Being civilized means to admire beauty, freedom of expression and thoughts and justice for all.So man should utilize the saved time and energy by the machines to eradicate hunger and poverty,to prevail peace worldwide and to explore universe and its beauty. Thus, we can make our civilization a role model for coming generations."
