I wish I have more than the upvote I just gave

This work is good research 

Little review on it (my opinion tho)

Automation can be defined as the technology by which a process or procedure is performed without human assistance of any such gotten from the work automatic. 

And also can equally say, Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention, with some processes have been completely automated.

From what you asked at @ehiboss
>is it really a good idea to transfer everything to machines knowing fully well that when we do not use body parts, it's function starts to diminish?

Actually there are things automation can't work for.. From my little studies in mechatronics engineering when I did robotics automation has limitations and human help is still needed  taking for example the CNC lathe machine.. There is manual and automatic but the automatic lathe which is CNC need humans to ignite the perfect operation.. As good as automation is they don't have mind of their own. 

>I remember a time when a text book sharpened the mind, now everyone thing can be easily solved with one computer algorithm or it's likes or the other and the aim of even sharpening the mind is diminishing.
 
Do you know without those text books you cannot understand principle behind the algorithm.. Example is solving quadratic equation on MATLAB... it save stress no doubt but what if you don't  know the principles behind it like know the formular because from the formular you can know the path you will follow to achieve the answer to that question 

Lemme stop here 
I get your point about automations but as a Beng holder of mechanical engineering and lover of robotics I can tell you automation still needs the human mind to function effectively.
