depended on clever ideas
realized as machines
and on skilled humans learning
how to operate those machines
with intricate finesse
spiraling down highways
across fields and through skies
assembling giant steel beams
to create tall buildings
guiding tiny bursts of energy
knocking out misfiring heart cells
one after another
again and again until
heart beats on the screen
become regular
in every field
as the machines became more and more
intelligent and more and more autonomous
expert humans bonded with the machines
that allowed them to achieve reliable results
continuous improvement and valuable innovation
in later stages, when machine intelligence
accelerated past human understanding
some machines also bonded
with humans
