Good evening everyone.

The topic impact of technology on jobs is very hot and interesting because nowadays we all are using technology to do anything like payment, hotel booking, cab booking, etc. This is good because it saves our time and also this thing not replace human for doing the task. But when we talk about the industry thaen many companies replace low skilled or labour people with automated robots which is bad impact of technology. In my thought, there must be some rule for installation of automated robots. Only those place or industry where the life of working people is in danger or not possible by a human for example in a coal mine life of labour is always in danger so there must be an automated machine for working. Many people die when he goes inside the gadeer so we can replace this work by automated machines. If we work likes this then we also increase job for high skilled people for developing such automated machines.

Hello, everyone and a hearty welcome to all of you.

I'm very delighted and equally excited to share my thoughts on this topic.

First of all, Technology is the greatest of boon and worst of a bane for present-day, humans! Now, I don't know how many of you can relate. Proficiency, time-saving, up-gradation, easy accessibility, a whole ocean of knowledge and many more such qualifiers can be used for 'Technology' precisely. On the other hand, laziness, comparative absence, lack of face to face human interaction, time overspent, multi-dimensional hacks and also threats; are the face of the same.

Coming to the topic "Impact of Technology on Jobs", has both positive and negative impact, is what I also personally believe.

POSITIVE IMPACTS:

1. India being an agrarian country, Technology has helped create, large scale jobs in rural areas.

2. A number of employees, more services rendered, more economy, ultimately more revenue generated through taxes by the government. That simply leads to assured economic growth.

3. Demand for technically skilled youth is increasing at a rapid pace, which means more employability for Educated Youth like many of us.

4. People are trained for such a newly created job again that is an added advantage.

5. Last but not least, we experience an improved lifestyle, and consumerism has substantially increased in a span of 10 years or so, astoundingly resulting in more employment opportunities.

Being an Indian, I'm on a very fresh page of scribbled handwriting in terms of so many bands imposed within 5 years time, but trust me India is succeeding and growing at a very rapid pace. Changes should be accepted and embraced, only then we can become the same "sone ki chiriya" as we were in a remarkable history.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS:

1. With technology coming in, aggravation of so many job losses and jobs becoming redundant is experienced. Machines and automation are replacing low-skilled workers, as many companies are welcoming newly automated machines and with effect poor, low skilled, manual working groups are being hit to the bottom again.

2. Not only this but also semi-skilled and even high-skilled jobs are at risk, click-click 'Artificial Intelligence' like the name suggests, it will challenge human intelligence, however the outcome will be worth watching.

3. Last but not least, continuously updating your knowledge to sustain in the market is the need of the hour. A short missed can be bowled for bowler but, the decision lies in the hands of the third umpire. (don't mind the comment).

I've tried my best to give a closer insight on the topic through my knowledge and experience. I want you people to suggest and leave your feedback for my writing, I would be more than happy to accept your responses.

Regards for the day, and success for your life. "Do your best and leave the rest. ".

Hello everyone, this is Arijit and thank you, everyone, to give me this chance to talk about "Impact of Technology on jobs".

I would say the technology can make the work easier for any organization. Now in various industries due to technological implementation and automation, a lot of work can be done easily but this kind of implementation can directly have an effect on jobs. Due to these technologies, a few jobs have been created for some skilled labours but a lot of people are also getting sacked from their jobs. As technology is changing drastically, people also have kept them updated to themselves to retain their jobs.

Hello guys.

We can't totally say that technology is good or bad. Though it makes our work easy but at other side it increases laziness and also create unemployment which is not good for us. We should use it in a proper way so that it can't be disadvantageous to us.

Hello guys.

Nowadays technology plays a prominent role in anywhere.

Technology makes some work easy and at the same time it makes someone become lazy. Through the technology tasks which is given to a person can be easily performed. But it continues in the same way it may reduce human power. And totally there will be no work for people to do. Soo with the technology people also have to be updated and don't addict to the technology much. Thank you.

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to say something about the "impact of technologies in jobs".

Nowadays everything is technology,

Technology reduces manpower and creativity. Today's world robots are used to foodservice in this scenario robots reduce human work.

When your travelling in the bus the conductor getting tickets using machine its also technology.

Today's world technology plays a major role.

I past years industry used peoples for the working process but nowadays they are moving forward to automation here also human works get reduced.

Hi everyone,

Today's topic is the impact of technology on jobs, and it can be seen in today's world. Demands of IT sectors, automobiles sector and various other firms they all are moving towards automation and advancement in their technologies. And its impact can be seen on the youths, many employees are getting fired from companies because their knowledge is of no use to the company, the private sector is growing ridiculously high and their demands from their employees to get a good hand on recent technologies otherwise their jobs will be at stake.

In many engineering colleges, the placement scenario is getting worse year by year, only the CSE nerds are getting good packages while the other branch engineers is submitting their resumes to one company to another. This is because we are studying decade-old syllabus and in this era it is of no use, we core branch engineers will be not getting good placement until we learn these new technologies or switch towards government sector, at last, we want job security.

Impact of technology on jobs have two sides like a coin, if one is moving hand to hand with new technologies then he will be exploring new jobs and challenges in his life, and on the other hand the one who is learning and gaining expertise on old technologies, which are only present in the books not in the real world than for him stability in jobs will be a tense situation.

Thank you.

Good morning to everyone,

Today we will be discussing about the topic "impact of technology on jobs".

The impact word itself begins with the impression that it will have both positive and negative sides.

Let's begin with positive impacts. Technology has tremendously increased jobs in the IT sector, no doubt in it but along with that common citizens are being benefitted as well. Let's take a few examples, food delivery services provided by tech giants like Zomato, swiggy, etc provide jobs not only to the delivery boys but also to many people by providing customer care executives.

Now let's come to the example number two. Online cab services like ola and uber not only benefitted the drivers but also those who have cars and want to give them for rent.

There is another whole world of online education which not only provide jobs to professors but also to those poor current students who want to earn by giving lectures of their own interest. A very good platform is unacademy.

In YouTube, many youtubers earn money by showing their talents and earn in lakhs.

But this is just one side of the coin. There are negative impacts as well, the online services of cab and food delivery is mainly concentrated in the city regions only, rural areas don't enjoy those benefits.

Introduction of e-rickshaws snatched away the source of income for those manual rickshaw pullers who can't afford to buy e-rickshaws.

Introduction to automatic machines in industries which performs the labour work as well ate up the opportunities of those who survive on just simple labour work.

So-called home shops like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, big basket, they all have reduced the income of small businessmen who wait in his shop whole day to sell their products.

No doubt technology is benefitting big companies, but again at the same time, it is snatching away the jobs of common men especially in rural areas.

That's all I have to say, thank you.
