It is well-known that machines play more and more important role in our modern daily lives. With the rapid development of technology, most industry fields and life domains could be comforted and effected by the abroad application of machine. No matter how machines could be improved, they are only tools of human minds. The human mind will always be superior to machines.

Machines could make our lives more efficient, comfortable and safer. The development of machine is concomitant with the process of human beings. We all share the belief that only human beings could deal with machines consciously. In stone age, ancient people used stone implement and other simple tools in their daily lives. These simple tackles could be used in hunting, cooking, sewing. After the revolution of steam in 18th century, energy sources had be applied to instead of the usage of human beings and other life-forms. The effect of machines has been broader after the revolution of information technology in 20th century. The invention of computer simplifies people's calculating work and transaction processing. The occurrence of mobile phone could make talking between two man the distance between whom is far become true. Washing machine and micro-wave oven lighten the burden of housewives and could afford more opportunities for them to attend in work.

Though machines gain far away development and are applied abroad in our society, whatever else may said, most people should agree that the human mind is superior to machines. The purpose of human beings making use of machines is to service but not hurt human beings. Moreover, the style and step of machines are all determined by human mind. All the behaviors of machines are programmed and could not compared with human mind in creativity and agility. Only be human mind provided with consciousness.

However, human beings must pay more attention to their usage of machines since machines could effect people's life in broader and deeper domains. When the explosion technology first invented in laboratory, the purpose of it is not war. But this technology damaged peace and harmony and brought large suffering to people. If atomic nucleus fusion technology is used in war but not energy domains, it will overthrow the peaceful and happy life of human beings. Though human mind could control the process of machines, what is more important is the style of using of machines.

To sum up, machines and technology obtain broad development and are applied in more domains than before. Though human mind is superior to machines, we must pay attention to the ways and purpose when we employ machines.
