I mean i could have just as easily described the process. Cutting a trench is a process, most of which was automated by the back hoe, conveyor, dump truck, and laser levels. Before, 20 or 30 people would be required for trench work which is now often done by a crew of two.
Right but whilst the thing is easier with better tools, and indeed the process has changed, to me 'automation' of a task refers to its process being reduced to, at best, a daily 30s review. Tools are... Ways of optimising and changing a process. Automation obviates them. It's a personally lexical stand, you can sanely differ.
