1. "Automation." The History Channel website. 28 November 2007.
Brief explanation- This is the article about automation from the “History channel” website which defines “automation” and explains what automation is all about. It explains different elements of automation, its computer use and use in industries. The article also tells about the effects of automation on society and its consequences.
Detailed explanation- I have used a lot of information from this article to explain my point. I have used the information provided in the article to define automation and explain the effects of automation in our society. Introduction to my research paper starts from the definition of automation which is taken from this article. Also, I have taken many ideas about the use of automation in our daily life from this article
2. Brown, Dwayne. NASA Extends Operations for Its Long-Lived Mars Rovers. 15 10 2007. 6 11 2007.
Brief explanation- This article was written on 15th October, 2007 by Guy Webster from Jet propulsion laboratory, Pasadena. This article explains about the use of robots to carry space exploration. It tells about the two land rovers which were sent to mars for experiments.
Detailed explanation- The article gives various details about the rovers and their functions. I have used information provided in the article to explain about the rovers and how they were used for space exploration. I have also used some of the statistics about space exploration in my research paper.
3. "From Paper File to Digital Database." National Park Service. 26 November 2007.
Brief explanation- This article is about the preservation of the history highlighting the various acts (laws) and programs by Government. It also talks about the goals, cost estimates, and people who will be benefitted by this.
Detailed explanation- I have not only included ideas from the article to support my points, but also included the quote from President Clinton “to honor the past and to imagine the future” and few other quotes. I have also mentioned few points from the “The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)”. I have also mentioned some of the statistics mentioned in the article.
4. “ Automation - History, Types Of Automation, The Role Of Computers In Automation, Applications, The Human Impact Of Automation - In the home.” Science Encyclopedia. 6th April, 2008 http://science.jrank.org/pages/679/Automation.html
Brief explanation- The article is about use of automation is our daily life. It also tells how automation is used in artificial intelligence, our daily lives and in industries.
Detailed explanation- I have used information about the history of automation stated in the article. I have stated the information about the history of automation i.e. how automation started, who started it and how it became rampant throughout the world. I have also mentioned about the types of automation and applications of automation using this article.

Research Plan
My field of enquiry is automation or the use of robots or machines. Automation means the replacement of human mind and human power with the machines or robots (computers). I plan to give solution to the problems faced by the world due to automation. I would talk on the following points regarding automation.
- Automation causes threat to the employment which further causes many more problems like social problems due to unemployment.
- History of automation i.e. what triggered automation, present situation of automation and how automation is threat to this world.
- Automation may be the future thread to the mankind. As shown in movies like ‘I, Robots’ and ‘Terminator’, robots or automated machines may be threat to the mankind. It may wipe out entire mankind.
To support my point, I have taken help from several sources like journals and websites. Few of my sources are given below:
- The history channel website
- Wingo, Walter. "Automation's Impact." Science News Letter 2 November 1963: 278.
- "From Paper File to Digital Database." National Park Service. 26 November 2007.
I have to find some more journals and other sources to prove my point more effectively and also search for a publication which can publish my article. I will make sure my article matches the needs of the publication.
