Length of discourse

As someone who prefers wordy precision over over short simplicity when explaining concepts and ideas, I disagree that "anything that would simplifies work or saves time" is a machine, it's just to wide a definition. "Books" on the other hand was exactly precise enough. I think it's unfortunate when we draw lines in the sand and declare one side superior to the other, all things have it's time and place.

Any examples showing anything that simplifies work or saves time, which is an elaboration of anything that reduces human effort, is too wide a definition of machine?

I think I have an infinite amount of examples, but the fact that you are asking for an example makes me think we are going to have a problem over definition. Not sure how I want to proceed on this one so I'm just going to throw one out there and see what happens. Book.

This porridge is too cold

This porridge is just right...






Stated another way..."one size fits all, doesn't."
 
Perfect, while a human could make that mess, or even a child, to have a machine do it for you is definitely simpler.

However this is a case if a machine doing something we would prefer to do ourselves.
