QI 1. Write a precise for the following passage and give a suitable title for it: Machines have, in fact, become the salves of modern life. They do more and more work that
human beings do not want to do themselves. Think for a moment of the extent to which
machines do work for you. You wake, perhaps, to the hoot of a siren by a machine in a
neighbouring factory. You wash in water brought to you by the aid of machinery, heated by
machinery and placed in basins for your convenience by a machine. You eat your breakfast
quickly cooked for you by machinery, go to school in machines made for saving leg labour. And
if you are lucky to be in a very modern school, you enjoy cinema where a machine teaches you
or you listen to lessons broadcast by one of the most wonderful machines. So dependent has man
become on machines that a certain writer imagines a time when machines will have acquired a
will of their own and become the master of men, doomed once more to slavery. [10 Marks]
