Automation: A process in which machines or devices automatically operate or control according to prescribed procedures or instructions without human intervention. The goal is to be "stable, accurate, and fast." Automation technology is widely used in industry, agriculture, military, scientific research, transportation, commerce, medical care, services and homes. The use of automation technology can not only liberate people from heavy physical labor, partial mental labor, and harsh and dangerous working environments, but also expand human organ functions, greatly improve labor productivity, and enhance human beings' ability to understand and transform the world. . Therefore, automation is an important condition and significant symbol of the modernization of industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology. Informatization: Informatization refers to the historical process of cultivating and developing new productive forces represented by computer-based intelligent tools and making them benefit society. (Intelligent tools are also called information-based production tools. They generally must have the functions of information acquisition, information transmission, information processing, information regeneration, and information utilization.) The productivity that is compatible with intelligent tools is called information productivity. The difference between intelligent production tools and production tools in the past productivity is that it is not an isolated and scattered thing, but a large-scale, top-down, organized information network system. This networked production tool will change people's production methods, working methods, learning methods, communication methods, lifestyles, thinking methods, etc., and will bring extremely profound changes to human society. Modernization: Modernization is often used to describe the phenomenon of social and cultural changes that occur in modern times. According to Magnarella's definition, modernization is an all-inclusive global process of cultural and social changes that developing societies undergo in order to acquire some of the characteristics of developed industrial societies. Historically speaking, it mainly refers to a process in which countries around the world have sought new solutions since modern times, aiming at the values ????that have been formed in many modern countries in Western Europe and North America. Therefore, it is often similar to the connotation of Westernization. Generally speaking, modernization includes scientificization of academic knowledge, democratization of politics, industrialization of economy, urbanization of social life, liberalization and democratization of ideological fields, humanization of culture, etc. Modernization is a profound change in human civilization. It is an alternating process of innovation, selection, dissemination and withdrawal of elements of civilization. It is an international competition to catch up with, achieve and maintain the world's advanced level. The core of modernization is "the liberation of human nature" and "the liberation of productivity (efficiency)". Because it started from Western societies such as Europe and the United States, it is sometimes called "Westernization", but it is not exclusive to Western societies. Mechanization 1. Mechanization refers to measures or means that directly use electricity or other power to drive or operate mechanical equipment in the production process to replace manual labor for production. Production that uses mechanical equipment but is still driven by human or animal power is called "semi-mechanization". Mechanization is an important way to improve labor productivity and reduce physical labor. 2. Industrialization and overall economic change Since modern mechanized production is only a basic starting point for the industrialization process, the connotation of industrialization should be richer than mechanization. Large-scale mechanized production will inevitably cause overall changes in the socio-economic field. This understanding was first proposed by Fang Xianting in December 1938 and has been generally accepted by the intellectual community since 1943. Views on the connotation of industrialization have gradually moved beyond the relatively single concept of "mechanization" and instead viewed industrialization as an overall economic change that includes all areas of the national economy. Achieve leaps and bounds through compound development and complete tasks. The connection and development and change laws of things themselves are one thing, but whether people can correctly understand and grasp them is another thing. Only by adhering to the guidance of the Scientific Outlook on Development and closely integrating the implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development with the mastery of scientific thinking methods can we ensure the realization of leap-forward development.
