Definitions

1. the reduction of the need for human labor in an activity because of the introduction of self operating machinery to do the same functions.

2. the use of electronic devices and servomechanisms to perform physical or mental tasks which then obviate the need for people to do such. Modern security systems are an example with their use of electronic sensing devices to open or close doors, sound alarms or silently alert security personnel remote from the area.
