Automation
1. Automation is the use of control systems in concern with other applications of information technology to control industrial machinery and processes, reducing the need for human intervention. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization.
2. Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and in daily experience. Engineers strive to combine automated devices with mathematical and organizational tools to create complex systems for a rapidly expanding range of applications and human activities.
3. Many roles for humans in industrial processes presently lie beyond the scope of automation. Tasks requiring subjective assessment or synthesis of complex sensory data, such as scents and sounds, as well as high-level tasks such as strategic planning, currently require human expertise. In many cases, the use of humans is more cost-effective than mechanical approaches even where automation of industrial tasks is possible.

Определите основную идею текста.
✓ In spite of playing a great role in industry, world economy and people’s daily activities, automation can’t entirely substitute people.
Для того чтобы правильно выполнить задание, следует знать алгоритм обработки текстовой информации и, прочитав текст, выделить главные компоненты содержания текста, то есть определить основную идею текстовой информации.
В тексте речь идет о том, что автоматизация:
1) является средством повышения производительности, снижая при этом роль человеческого участия («Automation is the use of control systems in concern with other applications of information technology to control industrial machinery and processes, reducing the need for human intervention» – фрагмент 1);
2) играет большую роль в экономике и повседневной жизни людей («Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and in daily experience» – фрагмент 2);
3) не всегда может заменить человека («Tasks requiring subjective assessment or synthesis of complex sensory data, such as scents and sounds, as well as high-level tasks such as strategic planning, currently require human expertise» – фрагмент 3).
Таким образом, правильный вариант ответа – «In spite of playing a great role in industry, world economy and people’s daily activities, automation can’t entirely substitute people» («Несмотря на то, что автоматизация играет огромную роль в индустрии, мировой экономике и повседневной деятельности людей, она не может полностью заменить человека»).
