C. Answer the questions to make a short presentation in PowerPoint (10 slides) about the automation. Present it to your group. Take part in the discussion.
1.How can you define the term automation?
2.What is an automated system?
3.How many elements are there in an automated system? Name them.
4.What devices are used to perform various operations much faster and better than could be done by people?
5.What are the most familiar examples of a highly automated system?
