Impact of Technology on Jobs

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.

Hello Everyone.

From my perspective, Technology has increased the job opportunity and also decreased job opportunities.

1. The employment has increased for the class of people who are interested in It departments.

2. The number of entrepreneurs has increased.

3. As the introduction of new technology, it has attracted the people for going online shoppings and that increases the employment for delivery boys.

4. Nowadays people are earning money by uploading their talents on any social sites or Youtube, now technology has introduced a new field of opportunities like YouTuber.

5. People are using technology with great interest and that is creating employment in It industries.

Let's start our topic of discussion today, which is Impact of Technology on jobs. With increasing digitalization and automation, huge progress has been made in job sectors due to new technologies coming out everyday. However it comes with a cost and here we will discuss about what impact it is making.

One thing that has happened that has had significant impact on job sector is digitalisation of work or simply saying computers are replacing human labour today. They is very benefical for industries in manufaturing sector because it has significantly reduced companys cost due to no labour employement and also has made work work more precise. However due to this unemployement of lower level workers has increased and that could become a problem in the future.

If we talk about corporate sector with updating technology paperwork has been reduced and everything has been transferred to computers.

With advancement in AI technology, jobs will be significantly reduced in the future. Positions will be open for working alongside AI to manage AI but that would require extensive skills and would not benefit low level workers.

Due to advancements in technology, unemployment can become a big problem which can lead to severe consequences like strikes and revolts. It is important to track the level of employment at this stage to predict future scenario and act according to it. In corporate sector, training people in computer technology will open doors to them of new jobs fields.

Hi friends.

In my view, the impact of technology has a great role in the development of our country as well as the uplifting of our society. That is today everything is infront of our finger tip, by using these technologies we can do any thing eg. Online banking, ticket booking, food odering. So no need of to go anywhere. And one more thing is that many people have their own ideas and these emerging technologies help them or give a platform to implement these ideas. The same way there are some demerits that it reduces the job opportunities, many works that are done by machines itself.

Thank you.

Hello, guys good afternoon.

I got the opportunity to share my views. There is some good and bad impact of technology on jobs. But the good impact is quite a havier than a bad one. Nowadays automation and digitalisation are increasing day by day. Due to automation machine can do a lot of work within less time but a man can't. It also improves productivity and quality of production while there might be chances of error in human work. Overall technology improves our economy as well as GDP.

It has also some demerits especially those who are illiterate and not aware of technology how it works so he might have problems in getting a job. Overall it creates the problem of unemployment.

So the government should provide good infrastructure, training programme to make them understand about technology so that they will be able to get a job.

As we all know that technology is growing so fast, a phone which was 20 years back thought only of a dream is now the most vital thing in our life. Who knows, 20 years from now we could be able to travel to some location without actually being there. Technology affects are lives in so many diverse ways, we aren't even able to tell how is it affecting us in negative ways. Nowadays there are so many apps for e-commerce lots of businesses are flourishing, But at the same small businesses, shops sales are decreasing, cause who wants to go on a hot and humid day to buy garments, when it can be done while siting on a sofa. So, although e-commerce is allowing to grow India economically, it is directly or indirectly being the reason for the rapid growth of unemployment.

Hello all, I would like to present my thoughts on the impact of technology on the jobs.

Here, I noticed most of the people are saying that everything has two sides, merits and demerits and we should think about merits only, but what I think is a little bit different. I totally agree with you all that technology has improved our lives and making our work faster. But nowadays there are demerits which are becoming a crisis in a particular field of any work where technology or automation is used. Technology is making our life so easy that we don't even need to go outside of the house and all the fundamental needs we can fullfil just by using a smartphone which is also a part of the technology. Technology doesn't let us move from one place and interact with people outside and it is breaking our social contact, and then they find difficult to interact with people face to face. And the most important thing is that we don't even need to be in front of each other to discuss the topic like Impact of technology on jobs.

However, in my point of view no doubt that Artificial Intelligence is going to extremely change the face of industry and employment.

Hi, I would like to state my point of view on the impact of technology on jobs. Nowadays technology is growing tremendously and providing us quality and quantity services with full efficiency and also less labour and manual work is required because of advancement in technology. It only requires a literate and skilled people to manage whole work and product to sell in the market. This also has an evil effect on the illerate people which create less employment because of more machice work than the manual labour work.

Technology has a huge effect on jobs both in good or bad ways. Due to the use of technology, the workload gets reduced, the manual error is not there, and it also saves time. But simultaneously it also affects badly like if most of the work is done by some device then the scope of the people to do that work decreases as a result unemployment increases. In my opinion, the use of technology is great where manual work is tiresome but not in all kind of jobs.
