How does the interaction between the characters develop the theme of "The Machine Stops"?

HELP

Answer: The conversation between the mother and son indicates the advantages and disadvantages of the Machine.

Explanation:

The correct response is - The discussion between the mother and son reveals the benefits and drawbacks of the Machine.

E. M. Forster wrote the science fiction short tale "The Machine Stops." The tale was first published in The Oxford and Cambridge Review, and it was then included in Forster's 1928 collection The Eternal Moment and Other Stories.

The Machine Stops was written by Forster in reaction to one of H. G. Wells' utopian books (probably A Modern Utopia, published in 1905). In response, Forster provided a pessimistic appraisal of humanity's over-reliance on contemporary technology and ultimate enslavement to it.

In the scenario depicted in the narrative, the majority of people are no longer able to live on Earth's surface. The omnipotent, universal Machine now provides for every person's physical and spiritual requirements while they dwell in seclusion in conventional rooms below the earth.

Before clocks were made, people kept track of time by other means. In
ancient Egypt, people used a water clock. Water dripped slowly from one
clay pot into another. People measured time according to how long it
took one pot to empty and the other one to fill. Candle clocks were
common during the Middle Ages. As such, when a candle burned, marks
on its side showed about how much time had passed. A final ancient way
to measure time was the sundial, which used the movement of the sun
across the sky. The shadows moving across the face of the sundial
showed the current time. What is the main idea? *
