Description This essay deals with the development of machines and the influence it has had on the self/image of human beings. It reflects on machines gradual improvement from the very times when people started constructing them to make physical work easier for themselves, all the way through the period during which people gradually passed routine mental work onto machines because there was too much of it or because it required great precision and attention. We end our thoughts with speculations about the possible future, about the times when we will coexist with machines.
