### device:

Machine
* All machines carry a soul, which has no color
  - lose some energy through heat loss, friction and leakage
  - run on some form of energy
* Many machines can automate some of the functions of human muscles, but few can mimic the form
  - have special registers for floating point arithmetic
* Most machines absorb electrical energy
  - allow memory from multiple processes to coexist in the physical memory of the machine
  - are designed and built to do work on objects
  - consume electricity
* Most machines convert electrical energy
  - mechanical energy
  - create energy
  - establish water temperatures by mixing hot and cold water in preset proportions
* Most machines have functions
  - structures
  - perform tasks
* Most machines use electricity
  - power
  - waylube, which drips into the coolant and contaminates it
* Some machines also behave as though they experience perceptions
  - have a problem with leap years
  - change heat
  - contain vapor
* Some machines control fission
  - nuclear fission
  - create memory
  - generate power
  - measure electricity
  - only test both ears together
* Some machines produce air pollutants
  - pump blood
  - transmit forces from one place to another
  - turn electricity
* Some machines use gravity
  * Some machines have many parts that move. Examples are bicycles and clocks
* appear to govern men in combat.
* are albums
  - an integral feature of modern life
  - apparatus
  - artifacts
* are capable of constructs
  - flies

  - mechanical devices
  - mechanisms for transforming one form of energy into another
  - organizations
  - part of the ecosystem
  - relatively simple systems with few variables, which operate in a stable relationship
  - stronger than humans, think more rationally, are more efficient
  - the ultimate in leanness because they only respond to preset demands

  - stretchs
  - surveys
  - test pilots
  - vacuums
  - votes
  - writes
* can also change the direction of force
  - help people communicate with each other
  - chop wood, lift or move heavy objects, make holes, etc
  - detect physical stimuli with greater acuity than the human senses
  - perform repetitive tasks without getting bored
  - process information in other ways
* change rapidly.
* change the amount of force
  - speed of force
  - force, distance, or direction of motion and do work at different rates
  - ratio of force and distance
* consist of inputs, processes and outputs.
* do indeed slow down with age
  - jobs
* don t write prose that humans want to read.
* evolve from generation to generation analogously to a species.
* exist to make things happen quicker and more efficiently.
* generally convert one form of movement into another.
* generate heat.
* have about as much warmth as a cube of ice
  - attachment
  - benefits
  - characteristics
  - designs
  - extraordinary strength and logic while humans have extraordinary feelings
  - features
  - follow features
  - magnet support structures
  - metal surfaces rubbing against each other
  - parts that can wear out, at least in theory
  - properties
  - safety features
  - walls
* help farmers to grow food for people in the world
  - people do work
* is used for data storage, word processing, recipe software etc.
* isolate the muscles that are being exercised
  - specific muscles that are exercising
* like to categorize things.
* make noise
  - work easier by reducing the force required to move an object
* move things.
* produce images
  - work and energy
* qualify as perceivers, reproducer and communicators as well.
* redirect or change the size of forces, thus making work easier.
* take the place of muscles.
* to produce electricity.
* use energy to make work easier
  - produce motion and heat
  - in construction
  - technology
+ User interface
  * Many machines can be very dangerous. A machine should have a user interface that can be handled easily, even if the person operating the machine has panicked. The user interface should therefore be intuitive, and simple to use. An example of such a user interface is that of the kill switch. A kill switch must shut off the machine 'at all costs' - the idea is to avoid injury or harm to people. This is very different from shutting off the machine at the end of the shift, or when it is no longer needed.
