Benefits of Machines

A useful article on the pros of technology, esp in the context of Singapore where there is a labour crunch and quota on foreign workers. Note how machines are not only more efficient, it is also about safety and keeping costs down in the long run. Note also the possible rebuttals about high costs, and possible retrenchment of workers who are replaced by machines. This latter point can be counter-rebutted........THINK!
