With the advent of rapid industrialization we cannot imagine a world without machine made articles. The hand-made articles since then have also decreased in number to a marked extent. However even today we still have avail to at least a few hand-made articles.  

It is a fact that machine made articles have a much finer finish and they at times also come at a lower cost. Also they come from factories of companies where they give a lot of stress on quality assurance and reliability. There are some articles where at least machine made articles would me my automatic choice say for instance garments. Here I would prefer to go with branded articles than hand made ones.  

Moreover in case similar kind and quality of articles are available in the market in both machine-made and hand-made forms, it is easy to observe that the machine-made one usually comes at much lower cost. This is because in majority of such cases the machine is bound to possess more productivity than a human hand and as a result they will come in affordable prices thereby taking care of my financial aspect also.  

Also any good purchased from a reputed firm is going to offer some sort of warranty with certitude. This will ensure more safety to the customer. He can safely use it to any degree at least within the period of warranty.   Sometimes we overlook certain flaws with the goods purchased while buying them hastily. This often happens while purchasing clothes. But if we buy reputed branded clothes from reputed outlets they are invariably going to replace it. This has personally happened with me more than once.  

However there might be instances where I would prefer to go with hand made articles. For example suppose I need to buy a wall mat. In this case machine made ones are going to be available in large numbers. But since in this case the article of interest will be quite affordable even if it is hand made I would prefer the handmade not before checking that it is free from manufacturing defects. Moreover the hand made ones will have unique designs compared to their machine made counterparts. This is because for a machine they are simply products whereas for a human being they are artwork.  

In my country there are certain articles which are best when hand made. For example there are certain types of decors which are excellent. There is a sort of embroidered piece of cloth called phulkhari which is made in Punjabi villages. It also comes as machine made. But the hand made ones is just too good.  

Thus for me the choice between hand made and machine made article is going to vary according to my requirements.
