Automation refers to the use of instrumentation that have controllable devices such as computers to control machinery and processes of the industrial by replacing human operators. It refers to process or function which is self-driven and eliminates the need for human intervention. From 21st Century, automation has seeped into every aspect of our daily living. Automation does not aid but replaces human operators.
Example for automation is Automated Teller Machine (ATM) which allows users to check out their account balances, withdraw cash, or make any such banking transactions at any time of day or night and even in the middle of no where.
The impact of automation on individuals and societies has been thoughtful. If you think on some level, many unpleasant, dangerous or time-consuming tasks are now being performed by machines. Example is transformation of the communications industry which has made life better for the average person. In past days calls had to go through human operators, but today millions of calls are now handled by automatic switching machines.
One of the effects of automation is displacement of jobs. Long-run of automation on human resources are arguable. In this area, most of them are controversial and some of them are inconclusive. Workers are indeed lost their jobs through automation but compensated for these jobs once the demand for the products in rise due to the growing population.
Substitution of human labor and skill with computing machinery pitches economic stability, educational policies, government rules and regulations, and cultural environment. Thus change is unavoidable.
Last but not the least, automation has its advantages and disadvantages on humans. When one machine can do the work of ten workers, most or all of those people will be out of job.
