As I have previously replied to a similar thread...
Installing and commissioning some high speed packaging / overwrapping machinery for a soap powder product in Nigeria, once finished, I was thanked by the 20 - 24 women who would sit there all day in an unventilated, dusty factory, manually filling and sealing these boxes of powder. They thought that their jobs had just become so much easier!
I left with a slight heaviness to my conscience...
I believe that that was the first time that it hit me, that a lot of what I do (did), actually involved removing manual labour from the production process.
