Hello friends,

Myself Suriyabalaji,

'Necessity is the mother of invention'.

But in today's world technology is necessary for innovation new things to satisfy human needs. Technology is the most important key factor in our day to day life because it helps us to improve our life and make things better in various fields such as business, education, defence, health-care, communication etc.

Technology has booted our standard of living by creating more opportunities like a faster mode of transport, communication etc. Now one can find everything on the internet.

However, it also affects people all over the world both positively and negatively. Advances in technology have brought us online banking, smart TVs, smartphones, computers etc but at the same time, they also brought us hacking and a lot of bad things. Manufacturer workers will be finished off by this technological development because automation reduces the need of manpower and also workers are reallocated from their companies, finally which leads to unemployment and it is impossible to say how many jobs are going to be finished off in future by automation.

Conclusion: I agree that technology has taken us to achieve many things. It depends on how we use the technology. It is designed to Make our lives easier but never be replaced by real human beings.

Thank you, friends.

Hello friends,

Today's topic is Impact of Technology on Jobs so there are some positive as well as negative points are there. But firstly, I would like to say that Technology is not reducing jobs.

Now will discuss about positive points:

Technology helps in reducing time and efforts for certain work.

With the help of technology we can to tasks very rapidly.

No risk of life in certain risky jobs like mining and construction.

Some works are there which human beings can't do efficiently but technology does this with the help of robots.

As rise in technology takes place AI is introduced we need more persons for data handling and other purposes.

Not much physical efforts are required.

We can save our time and energy and also productivity is also increased.

More opportunities of jobs are there in technical jobs.

Nowadays in all fields technology is introduced so more jobs are there.

Due to technology, production cost is also reduced.

Now we will see demerits:

First disadvantage of technology is it is making human lazy no physical work is there then it affects on health. And also stress is increasing.

Change in lifestyle.

Only skilled workers get job in technology unskilled workers are replaced by them.

But we can overcome this demerits too by offering skills to the unskilled peoples and by changing our lifestyle.

Hi,

This is Subramanyam.

Have visualised many of your assumptions.

Here is mine.

Technology has made no. Of our traditional jobs redundant (unnecessary). Ex- atm's replaced some bank jobs. And it is the new wave of technology like automation, artificial intelligence, and many other. As if we study about it properly, the job opportunities are increased, quite abnormally as well as decreased abnormally. Which results in many UP's and downs. In employment opportunities for us.

Technology helps us increase productivity which results in reducing the burden of employees and, it stops them from doing the repetition of the work. To carry on this the workers need to adopt some technical skills through training and much more, due to the usage of technology many educated youths can happily able to acquire their job, which somewhat reduces the educated unemployment. Technology helps in the growth of the economy. The companies that are using technology help themselves to reduce their expenses on their goods. Which helps them to expand their services. Which results in the creation of more finished goods that are able to be consumed.

Technology has the potential to create more job opportunities which result in an increase in the economy in rural areas. This is one of the temporary solutions to decrease rural unemployment.

Good afternoon to one and all.

Today the given topic is "Impact of technology on jobs". We always wish to improve our technology and want to experience the advanced features in technological aspects. Today all the youth are getting recruited in software companies after their education. It is completely related to technology why because in olden days there is no such kind of facilities. Hence, there was a huge amount of unemployment and less literacy rate. But now we can easily go through the exam notifications & if we want to apply for a particular job we can easily apply it from our home.

Technology is not at all effecting badly on jobs. It is providing more information related to job seekers & one can get to know the reason about their unemployment & they can improve their skills and abilities by following online classes and study materials. When a student has the ability to solve, thinking capacity, listening skills, communication skills, learning skills, leadership qualities, spontainity, confidence & knowledge these are the factors which are really important in life. But majority of the students only give priority for the academics not for the practical knowledge. This is the main factor for unemployment. Technology will never effect badly on jobs it is completely based on our usage.

Let's move to our topic. Our topic is impact of technology on jobs. Technology enhances the usefulness of goods and services. Technology is one of the most valuable tools that we have available of our fingertips every day.

As we know that every coin has two aspects one is positive and the other is negative.

Firstly I want to discuss its positive aspects.

1. High-risking jobs like mining, excavating, etc. Can be done robots.
2. Agriculture farming jobs can be increases by technology.
3. With technology, we can do work more efficiently and easily.
4. Work from home is possible because of technology.
5. Work will be modernized and India will be digitalized by technology.
6. While doing jobs it saves our time.

It's negative aspects_.

1. With the introduction of technology of jobs unskilled persons have to leave their jobs.
2. It reduces the chances to gain government jobs like ATMs and in the banking sectors.
3. With the introduction of technology, unemployment increases.
4. Many types of health issues.
5. It leads to human lazy.
6. Many of the persons were looted due to technology.

As I think we should be modernised as time changes to maintain the requirement of population.

Through technology, we connect with others socially. Nowadays technology is a boon for our society.

Hello friends.

In my opinion, technology has created new jobs in every field and will always create jobs in future for example employment in IT sector, Employment in the automobile sector, Employment in civil, Management and more.

All these sectors have employment only due to technology evolution with time.

Now talking of AI (artificial intelligence) yes this can create unemployment but what about its future, its merits. AI is going to be the future and definitely, it will create employment on a very large scale.

Like engineering has a lot of technical job at present, in future AI will also provide great job opportunities.

Think how the internet has created jobs, the internet is also a technology, and it has changed our life, Mass media technology is related to internet provides employment.

Think of how Railway technology, Aeronautical technology has created a huge amount of jobs, this is only because of scientific knowledge which was used practically what we call as technology.

For one second think of dairy technology, space technology, weapon technology and more all these create employment.

Even before industrial evolution (1720-1840) people have a negative opinion about it that it will create unemployment but reality is in front of us today.

Automation means that where machine handles their task by itself, some automated machines are ATM, humanoid robot etc;

There are some automated technologies are:

1. Artificial intelligence, where the computer thinks like human such as perception, reasoning, thinking, common sense, natural language etc.

2. Autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles, Vehicle is derived without any human.

3. 3D printing: It is a process of manufacturing three-dimensional solid object from digital files.

I am supporting the argument that if automation of technology produces more jobs as they reduce. According to research, If automated technique will eliminate 1. 8 billion jobs in 2020 so it will produce 2. 3 billion new jobs.

There are so many engineering colleges in our country and most of the engineers or skilled people are either unemployed or working in the non-technical firm because of lack of opportunities in their field. This automated technology will provide opportunities for the youth of India.

After the invention of the ATM machine, all person's whether they are skilled or unskilled are using properly make their life easy and flexible otherwise for performing any banking activities they face lots of trouble such as waiting in the queue, waiting for time etc.

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,

As today we have the topic of the GD is the impact of technology on the job,

In my point of view that it is the stage of industry 4.0 on which concept the industries are willing to perform there work. Obviously, it is the automation and many advanced robots which are implemented to perform the job or task at the industry and replaces the mankind.

As a result obviously, the employment get reduce i.e. reduce the job opportunity in the industry as automation will displace the things but this will achieve at a very high initial cost of investment and high competition in the market.

If we talk about the growth of industry we need both of the things to compete for market demand and this will achieve only by making a balance between the human sources and machine, since one can not completely depend on the machine but we have to make adapt the new technology for today's demand for survival of company.

At last the things that the technology give comfort work done easily, and efficient way, it increases the competition among the people and hence the new things will come in the picture but on the other side it indirectly reduces the job opportunity and increases unemployment.

Thank you!
