Read this excerpt from the preface of a book written about machines. I have been fascinated by machines since I was a child. Pla

ying in the creek behind my house, I used sticks, string, and plastic cups to create a pulley system for drawing up water. When I got older, my friends and I built ramps for our bikes, and sped down them with abandon. It was only natural that I became an engineer who designs machines for all sorts of tasks. Based on this excerpt from the preface, which best explains why the author wrote the book? The author used materials found around the house to make simple machines. The childhood friends of the author were also interested in making and using machines. The author has had a lifelong interest in machines and how to develop them for a variety of purposes. As a child, the author enjoyed outdoor activities such as playing in a creek and riding on a bik

Some women now work for pay instead of being a traditional homemaker.What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend
strojnjashka [21]

I believe that there are mostly advantages when it comes to this. Some advantages include higher household wages because a family where both parents (assuming a heterosexual relationship) are in the workforce, the household would be much more successful than if one parent was depending on the other. There are economic advantages, more people in the workforce, lower unemployment rate, higher productivity within citizens overall. We live in a world that is consistently advancing technologically, AI generated housekeeper robots may be something that may come sooner than we think. I have a robot that sweeps my floor and can be programmed to clean only on the hours that I am asleep. In a family, everyone should clean up after themself and do their part to maintain a nice and neat household. It is the responsibility of everybody that lives in the house not just the woman (if there even is a woman, because same sex relationships and single men exist).
