Good impact:
1. The workload is reduced.
2. In minimum time work is done.
3. It supports education also.
4. The growth of economics.
5. It makes our life is easier.

Bad impact:
1. Increase in unemployment.
2. Only educated people are getting a job.
3. Technology is easier to work in minimum time for this lots of people are not get jobs.

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. ".

Technology makes our work easy and simple and in 20th century we are dependent on technology however technology replace the human job through artificial intelligence. Now the organization is not ready to pay to the employees if the machine is doing the same job. Instead of hiring 1000 employees, if one machine is doing the same job then why should somebody hire 1000 employees and pay the salary.

Yes, the impact of the job decreases and artificial intelligence will replace many jobs in future.

21 century will be the competitors between human vs machine. So you have to always be master in your filed and remember they are machine they use repetition and we are human we can use the brain as well as.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

In my opinion, the technology of this era not only helping people to save time but also helping the job sector. I would like to take the example of the recent Covid pandemic situation when there was lockdown in the entire country, all manufacturing units were closed but the IT sector was running smoothly and even some the companies doubled their earning. Technology helped to sift the working from the office to working from home. For teaching organizations, it is blessed because they are able to reach many students through online mode.

Finally, I would like to say Technology helped the job sector to improve its efficiency by saving time.

Technology has impacted us in a good or in a bad way as we all aware of that India has a very literacy rate, when it comes to technology the people who do not have the basic knowledge about computers and other technology it will be more difficult for them to grow as you all know the technology is growing day by day in our country, obviously it is beneficial for our country only it will lead to more contact with countries for getting the opportunity for the business.

The Government should give basic training of computers to the weaker section of society as they can't afford to pay and then learn.

Technology on jobs is impacted in both good and bad ways. But it most impacted it in a good way as with the help of technology employees don't need to spend their time travelling and just filling up their attendance register in companies. Now. IT sector employees are mostly doing their work from home which is beneficial both for the company and the employees as its saves most of their time as time is very important for everyone.

But technology also makes the employees lazy as they just open up a laptop and just sit on their table and enjoy the day.

Before I'm going to discuss something related to the impact of technology on jobs. Let me tell you what is technology means. It refers to the study of skills, techniques, processes, and methods for the production of goods and services.

Like the existence of a good God and a bad god, there is the scenario of a good point of view like a good god and a bad point of view like a bad god.

I'm starting with a good one:-

1) With the Discovery of technology many works related to online become easier we can easily connect across the world.

2) With the increase in technology, many of them got more jobs in the IT sector.

3) It also helps to reduce the time of work.

4) it also helps to reduce the error happening in the organization.

Now we see the scenario of the bad one:

1) With the increase in technology, many industries get automated by machines which results in a decrease in the involvement of human beings.

2) Also with the increase in technology humans becomes lazy.

3) With the increase in technology less chance to get a job in an organization.

So here's my view.

Hope that in the upcoming generation there is a valuable use of technology effectively and efficiently.

According to me, Today the whole world is in the wheel of technology. Today's era known as " Technology era". with the blinking of our eyes the important Documents are send(Mail, Whatsapp etc)which is much more difficult than without Technology in earlier days. Technology Solves each and every problem in different Sectors. but Technology cannot work properly without the manpower.

Fact & Figures :
* Over 3.8 billion peoples use the internet today.which is 40% of the world population. In India 627 million internet users.
*More than 570 websites are Created every minute.
*More than 8 billion devices are connected to the internet by 2021.

Advantages :

* No of employment increased for those people who have enough skill in technology.
* Reduction in cost of labor.
* Time Consuming and Accuracy at work.
* Less Physical work.

Disadvantages:
*Due to increasing in use of Automatic machines Unemployment is increasing for low skilled labors
*Dependency over machines Increases.
* Fewer changes to getting jobs in an Organization.

Conclusion: Technology is useful and important for humans nowadays, Technology can work many humans But we cannot replace humans properly. Because Technology is Operated by humans.

THANK YOU.

Good morning everyone, I'm discussing the Impact of technology.

According to opinion, Advantage and disadvantage are the two sides of the same coin, if you have the advantage of something then there will be disadvantage also, Now talking about the advantage of technology, taking the recent example,

- It helps a lot during a pandemic, as due to lockdown everything thing was closed but the thing which had helped is technology,

-It helps in reducing the time, as we have to waste or precious time for paying bills, in ticket reservation, for appointment to doctor etc, there are various things in which it had helped, we can accomplish our work within few sec.

- During the winter season the air in Delhi become more polluted due to stubble burning, technology helps in purifying the air.

- Technology had helped us to reach even to the other planets.

There are various more examples in which technology had played a major role.

Now coming to disadvantage-.

-Because of this we all are busy with our technical equipment like mobile and we don't spend our time with our family.

-because of technology many people have to leave their job, there is a lack of employment in our country, Humans are replaced by machines in big factories.

- We have left our culture, Humans are becoming lazy nowadays.

- Technology is the mother of Bombs, Guns, Missiles etc which is very dangerous for humankind, biggest example of this is the Nuclear drop in Hiroshima as well as in Nagasaki in Japan. We can see the effect of that yet now even after 70 years.

Now according to my opinion. We should use technology but in a limited way like parents should be strict toward their children, they should scold them for excess use of mobile, we should use our mind first, and try to find out the solution of any problem, we should use technology at last. Like we use to search everything on google even if there is a small calculation we use to use calculator according to me we should first use our mind then depend upon technology.

Thank you.

Hello one and all,

Talking about the impacts of technology on jobs, I think there are many more positive impacts rather than negative ones. Some people think technology reduces or replaces jobs but in my opinion, technology is not replacing or reducing jobs. Rather it helps, saves time, and creates new jobs. If you learn to use technology efficiently no one can take your job or no one can replace you.

For we all without technology, it's very hard to live. In our day-to-day life from morning to night there is 95% of our daily tasks in which we use technology, like after waking up for bathing we use the geyser to warm the water, for cooking we use an induction stove, for washing clothes we uses the washing machine, we use mobile phone to call and for many other tasks all the day there are a lot of things we used in our daily life which we can call as technology. There is a big share of technology in our life to make it easy or reduce the hard work.

For example, if I miss my class someday so to help of technology I can learn the topic from YouTube or many other resources. There are many online options for me to learn new things. We can save a lot of time and energy by using technology.

There are some chances of errors in manual work but if we use computers or machines it will be efficient, error-free and saves a lot of time.

As we know every coin has two sides so technology cannot be escaped from that. One of the major issues of using technology - social media is cyber crimes. People should not share their private life on social media. There are so many sites that can make 0 your bank balance by just clicking on it. So people should be aware of those attacks. One more disadvantage of using technology is not knowing the technology. Many people in India are illiterate. They don't know how to use technology so obviously it's hard for them to get a job. Because as time passes we depend more on technology. Everyone must learn new technologies to compete with the growing world.
