Here's the problem. I'm sloppy. That's why I liketo use machines to do my work rather than do thingsby hand. Machines can be creative, precise, andefficient.
Most people think that you can only be creative if you do things by hand. However, it takescreativity to set the machine up. Once it's set up, it can repeat the same task over and overand over perfectly. If you want to write ten letters, you can set up your word processor to do it, press a button, and ten letters will be printed. It would take me forever by hand, and I wouldmake a lot of mistakes. By hand, each letter would be different. By machine, each one isperfect.
Machines are very precise. They don't get tired and cut the wrong way. They don't getdistracted and drop some mustard on the paper. As I said, I'm sloppy, but like neatness. That's why I prefer to use machines.
Machines are also more efficient. I'm too tired to pick up the phone and see who is callingme. My answering machine isn't tired. It's always on duty. It doesn't get tired, upset, ormoody.
I can depend on my machines, but I can't always depend on my hand to be creative, precise, or efficient.
