“Darwin among the Machines‚” 46 years before Forster (whose story‚ “The Machine Stops‚” was published 107 years ago). It is hard to believe that two stories with a similar tone could have been written so long ago. What is even more incredible is that they both seem to relate to present day society.

20th December‚ 2150 The end is coming quickly. At first I thought it would be because of an unexpected virus that would spread and kill all mankind. No fuss somehow. Or a battalion of unknown species would land on our planet‚ take it and destroy all living matter in sight. I imagine weird creatures flying even more ridiculous things. But I was sort of disappointed. Humankind wanted a cruel finale. Bombs are everywhere. Merciless androids are roaming around shedding innocent blood. Deafening

Lathe machine A lathe is a machine tool which rotates the workpiece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting‚ sanding‚ knurling‚ drilling‚ or deformation‚ facing‚ turning‚ with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation. Parts Headstock contains high-precision spinning bearings. Rotating within the bearings is a horizontal axle‚ with an axis parallel to the bed‚ called the spindle. The tail-stock contains a barrel

The aim of this experiment is to measure‚ determine and analyses the parameters of single-phase or three-phase transformer and torque-speed characteristics of rotating machines. Besides that‚ we are required to differentiate the construction and winding of single-phase or three-phase transformer. Through this experiment‚ we have to develop the connection wiring for single-phase and three-phase transformer and
