                       man-made.

                       Machines are man-made things that save our time and make our work easier.
                       Computers  can  store  a lot  of information  and  never  forget  it, but  man  may  not
                       remember many things stored in his brain.
                       Computers work very fast and can do many tasks at a time, whereas men work slowly
                       and can do only one task at a time.

                       rest after working for some time.
