The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets. About thirty metres away, a boat pulled alongside the slippery steps leading down to the sea.
“Hey, look!” exclaimed Rahim. “Those two men are unloading heavy rocks. I thought we no longer do muscle labour in this technological era. ”
"You don't expect a crane to unload less than a dozen rocks,do you?" smiled Joshua.
"But those men don't seem to have muscles at all," said Michael,rather surprised.Joshua smiled.
“They are experienced laborers who know how to spread the weight of the rocks they carry . See how the man positions the rock just at the slope of his shoulder . Some of the rock’s weight is set against his head, some on the right hand and some on the left hand. His body isn’t bent. His legs are well placed . ”
“You’re right, Josh. He may have a small build. but he certainly well knows his job. Dear me! And to think we have been studying physics ! ” Rahim thought about all that was happening. Suddenly, he said, “Technology won’t replace the human being completely, it appears.”
“I don’t think it will. ” agreed Joshua. “You can harvest a crop of potatoes or wheat with one of those large, multi-purpose tractors, but you won't use that equipment to harvest lea leaves and tomatoes, will you?”
“You can get a computer to print out multiple-choice assessments, but you cannot get the computer to produce of assess essays, can you?” asked Michael.
“Well, the washing machine leaves my shirt collar quite as dirty as ever --- that’s domestic technology for you! ” said Rahim.
“One day, perhaps, there won’t be anybody left who can carry a large rock the way those men do. It’s not going to be a very 54 world, I’m afraid.” Sighed Michael.
“You’re too much of a pessimist (悲观主义者),Mike.” Said Joshua. “ There will always be other things that will make the world exciting. ”
