PASSAGE 2: THE RISE OF AUTOMATION (Questiоns 16–30)   Fоr оver а century, fаctories hаve relied on a steady workforce of human laborers to assemble goods, package products, and manage equipment. This system created millions of stable, middle-class jobs. However, a growing trend in modern industry suggests that the traditional factory worker is quickly disappearing. Today, companies are replacing human hands with automation, which means using advanced machinery, computer software, and intelligent robots to complete physical tasks. Managers support this shift because automatic machines can work twenty-four hours a day without taking breaks, making production much faster and reducing costly manufacturing errors.   On the other side of the issue, labor groups and community leaders express deep worry about this rapid change. They point out that while a robot increases a company's profits, it permanently eliminates the livelihood of ordinary workers. In some industrial towns, when a major factory automates its assembly lines, local unemployment rates rise immediately. These critics argue that society is not prepared for the massive job loss caused by technology, leaving older workers without choices because they cannot easily train for highly technical computer careers.   A technology trade magazine recently published an article defending these new machines, stating: "Either our nation embraces full factory automation immediately to stay ahead of international competition, or we choose to become a completely broke, third-world country with no economic future." Furthermore, some factory owners suggest that robots actually help laborers by taking over the most dangerous, repetitive, and unhealthy jobs in the plant. The debate over automation remains a major social challenge, showing how modern progress can create immense wealth for corporations while causing financial instability for the traditional working class.
