Everything is a machine
I don't feel like people realize but everything is a machine. When you go to the atm you are interacting with a machine. When you call up some service because something broke the first thing that happens is they ask you to press buttons because you talking to a machine. Now at new stores you do the checkout yourself and there is no cashiers just a machine. You can rent movies from a machine. You can buy food from a machine. There is always this idea that in like 100 years everything will just be machines but forget 100 years. Look at now. Look at how many times you end up interacting with machines now and not people. Its not that their is anything wrong with that but do people realize this. All these machines take the jobs of humans and them actually interacting with one another. It changes peoples need for social skills in a trade for computer skills. It makes it possible to go through life without talking to anyone but you can get anything you need through a computer or a machine without leaving the comfort of your home. Machines aren't something of the future. They are something of the present.
