Response

In a general way, it may be said that the more automatic the machine is, the less it is likely to weaken the human brain. The simplest machines, such as typewriters, are not likely to weaken the brain. They are, in fact, great time savers and time savers are brain builders. The more automatic a machine is, the more it is likely to weaken the human brain; but the extent to which this is true depends on the particular machine. A machine which is used to do the same thing over and over again, as in making pins, does not weaken the brain so much as a machine which requires that the brain be called upon for a variety of work. This is because the same thing has to be done over and over again and the mind has become accustomed to doing it.

Verbatim. The highlighted sentence is the one the judges took as the commitment.
