Since the human society entered the information age and the intelligent age,high-tech technologies such as the Internet,big data,cloud computing,and intelligent systems have developed rapidly at an alarming rate,and have penetrated into all aspects of social production and life.The survival and development of humankind have already required science and technology.Indivisible.The rapid development and application of these new technologies have improved the level of social productivity and people's quality of life,and caused great changes in labor methods,lifestyles,and forms of labor-employment employment.At the same time,it has also caused some negative effects,such as the widespread application of the Internet and artificial intelligence,which has affected the laborer's dominant position to a certain extent,exacerbated laborer's unemployment,and weakened people's ability to socialize.After the first and second industrial revolutions,the large-scale machine industry,which embodies advanced technology and productivity,has become a typical feature of the capitalist mode of production.On the one hand,the development of the large machine industry has greatly increased labor productivity,and the capitalist society's wealth has exploded.On the other hand,the use of capitalism by machines has exacerbated the basic contradictions and class contradictions of capitalist society.Marx,who lived in the nineteenth century,was keenly aware of this problem.He insisted on the historical materialism,not only affirming the positive role of the machine industry in social historical progress and development,but also exposing the contradictions caused by machines in the application of capitalism.,Forming a more systematic and important machine thought.Marx's machine thoughts are mainly concentrated in the "Machine" in Chapter 13 of "Capital" "Machines and Big Industries" and "Economic Manuscripts of 1861-1863".Application of Natural Force and Science.Sorting out and studying Marx's machine thought is of great significance for further enriching and developing Marxist machine thoughts and solving the social realities facing the development of contemporary science and techno.The article is based on the machine ideas of Marx's "Capital" and "Economic Manuscripts of 1861-1863" as the text.First,the historical background and theoretical sources of Marx's machine ideas,the characteristics and applications of machines are briefly summarized.Discussion.Then it makes a detailed analysis of the social impact of the capitalist application of machines,including the impact on production methods,organizational forms,social relations,social systems,people themselves,etc.This is the key part of the research.Marx believes that as the manifestation of the most advanced productive forces in the nineteenth century,the invention and use of machines greatly improved social productive forces and promoted the rapid progress and development of human society.At the same time,the capitalist use of machines has a major impact on capitalist social production relations and institutional changes.Machines are the product of workers' labor.The use of machines should reduce workers' burdens,increase people's wealth,and promote their liberation.However,machines have become workers' dissidents in the application of capitalism.A powerful means to increase labor intensity and squeeze workers' surplus value.The capitalist use of machines has exacerbated the unemployment of workers,made workers the appendages of machines and the objects of enslavement,and completed the transformation of labor's attachment to capital from formal to de facto attachment,social contradictions and class contradictions of capitalism Further intensified.The development of the machine industry has caused changes in traditional production methods and forms of social organization,brought about the establishment of new factory systems and factory laws,and brought about changes in social relations and social systems.It contains the possibility of human liberation,such as the promotion of gender relations.Changes,the integration of education and productive labor are possible,the nature of large industries requires the full mobility of people and thus promotes the free and comprehensive development of adults.Marx's machine thought has important value and enlightenment significance in contemporary times.The world today is different from Marx in the political,economic,and cultural aspects,and the status of science and technology as the first productive force is more prominent.This article combines Marx's machine thinking with the technical problems that actually exist in the contemporary era,pointing out the impact of contemporary machines and their applications on the production and life of human society,and using Marx's machine thinking to guide the actual labor and capital in the current information age and intelligent age Relationship issues and technology alienation issues to achieve better technology for the benefit of mankind.
