Answer
Fromm implies that mechanisation could lead to a loss of human qualities. He argues that mechanisation is a process of reducing everything to a set of quantifiable factors, which can then be controlled and manipulated. This process, he argues, is dehumanizing, because it reduces people to the status of objects that can be manipulated and controlled. As a result, mechanisation can lead to a loss of individuality, creativity, and freedom.
