Machines or workers? Discussion
What is best – machines or men? For example, in a coffee factory, like the one you see in the video here, it is important for product quality to sort the coffee beans according to size and weight. This is done by the machine, and the worker controls the machine.
What is best:
a) To have a workplace for 100 persons, standing at the assembly lines sorting beans – with the possibility of the workers to develop pain and problems in their back , neck and arms – but where they all earn a salary
or
b) to have a factory with ten persons who control machines which sort the beans, like the one you see here? – but then only these ten earn a salary
