MachineAgent

Much of what we do is redundant robot like repetition of words and deeds. These activities are easily delegated to machines. In the industrial age this led to mass production of value for the masses until nobody has room for any more garbage but throwing anything away is irresponsible. In the information age, machine agents serve the individual as well as individuals. The computer is becoming ubiquitous, supporting personal productivity and becoming a network capable of doing the will of the individual to the extent that the individual can take advantage readily of its virtually unlimited power.
