Mehendi Applying Machine Sparks Debate Over Jobs And Human Touch

A video shows a machine putting a detailed mehendi design on someone’s hand.

Harsh Goenka shared the video and suggested that machines could take away more jobs.

Mehendi is often used at weddings and festivals in India.

Many people enjoy not only the design but also meeting and talking with the artist.

Some viewers think a machine could make the process faster and more consistent.

Other viewers would rather have a person use a mehendi cone.

They also worry that people are trying to make every activity quicker.

The discussion is really about whether machines should replace human work in personal services.

It asks whether the human experience is as important as the final design.
