Read the passage below and answer the following questions. Computers are making inroads into our society whether India is ready for them or not. Also coming with them are potential threats in the form of office automation, factory automation, computer-controlled machine tools, expert systems, artificial intelligence machines, network datacom systems and so on, each one with the potential to theoretically displace entire chunks of the workforce. The stated response of most economists and sociologists to such a situation is to advise massive retraining of the workforce. But this is just a short-term solution. In a computer system which, for instance, automatically manufactures a chemical product, where previously 100 people used to make it with multiple divisions of labour, how many can be retrained and for which functions? The only jobs that would remain would be those of receiving the raw materials at the plant, site, manual inspection, handling emergencies in the machinery and inspection of the finished product.
Which one of the following explanations best helps to bring out the precise meaning of “office automation”?
Methods and machines to make office work more and more automatic, especially by means of electronic control.
Person in an office, who appears to act involuntarily or without active intelligence.
A machine in office-premises, self-moving, able to work or be worked without attention.
Self-governed officials in a group.
- Option 1: Methods and machines to make office work more and more automatic, especially by means of electronic control.
- This option aligns with the idea of using technology to automate tasks traditionally done by humans in an office setting.
- Examples include software for automating emails, spreadsheets, or scheduling.
- Option 2: Person in an office, who appears to act involuntarily or without active intelligence.
- This describes a person, not the concept of office automation.
- Option 3: A machine in office-premises, self-moving, able to work or be worked without attention.
- This suggests a physical machine requiring no human intervention but is less relevant to the scope of office automation.
- Option 4: Self-governed officials in a group.
- This relates to individuals within a group setting and not directly to technological office processes.
Correct Answer: Option 1 — It accurately describes how office processes are automated using electronic tools and systems.
