Work by hand vs. by machine

In general, there are two ways of making products, one is by hand and
the other is by machine. It is undeniable that products can be
manufactured easily and efficiently by machine. But for me, I prefer
hand-made items for their features of individualism and flexibility.

First of all, hand-made products are more unique and personal. Take
birthday cards as an example, instead of same pictures on the printed
cards available in the market, well-chosen images such as our own photos
printed on a self-made card can surely distinguish the card from
others. Owing to its uniqueness, the self-designed card will be of
greater value for the person who receives it.

What's more, garments made by hand are fitter than machine made ones.
Although men's suits and lady's dresses can easily be found in shops
that sell machine-made clothes, many people go for tailor-made clothing
simply because tailors can make those clothes precisely according to
individual customer's measurement and styles. Obviously, the fitness of
clothing is what those people care about most.

Finally, producing items by hand is more flexible. It releases people
from being confined by modes that are necessary for machine-made
manufacturing. For example, in hand-made pottery making, people can
create new designs at any time. While in machine manufacturing, however,
modes have to be made in advance, and afterward all finished products
are based on the same modes and have completely the same looks. If a
different look is needed, people must re-produce the modes first.
Moreover, there are still some items that cannot be produced by machine
because there are no matched modes.

In conclusion, it is easy to get the conclusion that doing work by hand
is more flexible than by machine in most cases, so I prefer products
that are made by hand.
