TFR 1:00-2:30

Presented to:Dr. Ma. Theresa P. Pelones

Human Mechanization

(Phil Lange)

We turn them on and off whenever

it suits our fancy.

No explanation is offered on

why and what they

do.

Their plans and future

are unheard.

All work and no play.

Their human worth is

judged only by the quality

of their products.

Human empathy is

absent.
