Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book asserts that despite the fear and pessimism surrounding the rising dominance of machinery in our industries, humans will ultimately prove their mastery over it in three key ways: practically, economically, and morally. Firstly, through invention and improvement, people will demonstrate their practical superiority over machines. Secondly, by scientifically optimizing their use of machines, they will economically surpass their limitations. Lastly, the moral character demanded by the operation of complex machinery will elevate the ethics of the workforce. The author argues that this moral elevation is crucial for the success of the machine age, as it ensures that the vast power wielded by machines is responsibly managed. Ultimately, this book offers a hopeful vision of a future where humans and machines coexist harmoniously, with humans retaining their dominance through intellect, skill, and moral superiority.
