Answer to Question 1

It is expected that robotics will be used to design picking mechanisms that closely resemble the human hand in function, potentially with the dexterity to be able to handpick fruit and/or vegetables that currently require careful handling and are labor-intensive.

Answer to Question 2

Computers have revolutionized the way decisions are made on the farm in these three ways:

1 . Animal sires and dams are selected based on computer databases.
2 . Marketing decisions are made based on computer predictions of commodity futures.
3 . Maintenance schedules, including those for irrigation, pesticide application, and harvesting, have been computerized.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
