Impact of Technology on Jobs

Technology, nowadays, can be seen in every field. It is dynamic. It serves as a competitive advantage for companies. Technology brings efficiency thus reducing cost and price and increasing quality. Due to this, some companies are investing more in technology and reducing headcounts. So, Technology has led to fall in employment in certain sectors such as automobile. But there are certain other sectors where technology couldn't replace human beings like service sector, sales, etc. Also, to operate the technology, human beings are required. So, technology complement human beings. Also, country like India is labour intensive. So, more and more jobs are being created for people.

In my opinion, technology creates more job. Of course, it affects job for short time which is widely accepted. In India we have seen IT field has created so many job opportunities. Also the biggest example is internet.

Hello everyone, from my point of view, technology never affected jobs. Technology increases by their own way. Many software present in the market, they can do work like mankind. But technology is made by mankind and technology will be improve by mankind only. For only mankind brain machine behalf like mankind. But this all technology will be innovative, improve by only mankind. That's why people should be upgraded them self sincerely.

According to me, with increases of technology job opportunities increase and as well as a decrease in some cases but I surely can say that in most cases job opportunities increase.

With the new technology, we can make own job better and interesting. Nowadays, technology is changing at the very fast rate.

In IT sector, Automobile sector and in management technology always creates new jobs but in the industry, the role of manpower is declining because the technology replaces the manpower, I mean only the people required to start the machine and then machine automatically do the work.

Hai everyone, l am Ramya.

The Technology is enhancing day by day, many people are doing the work which is boring and monotonous but along with technological advancements, the quality of the job improves which leads to progress. Creativity increases.

As Technology evolves it creates new jobs at the same time it leads to loss of many jobs at present for the short term. And if we consider new technologies that are evolving AI and machine learning these are going to be a boom in the next 3 to 4 years.

I think TECHNOLOGY create more opportunities of job in India.

Everyone is talking about robot work In industries in the future. But no one is thinking about the manufacturing and constellation of the robot. More industries will open after AI.

Hello everyone,

Impact of technology can cause short-term job losses is widely accepted. The view that it can lead to lasting increases in unemployment has long been controversial. There are so many debates on technological unemployment. The debate can be broadly divided into optimists and pessimists. Optimists agree that innovation may be disruptive to jobs in the short term, yet hold that various compensation effects ensure there is never a long-term negative impact on jobs, whereas pessimists claim that at least in some circumstances, new technologies can lead to a lasting decline in the total number of workers in employment.

Adoption of technology, global reach and faster communication has overhauled manufacturing, servicing, product delivery and also employment associated with these sectors. But, this is not the first time the world has experienced significant shifts in employment due to new technology. History states that technology has been a creator of jobs and has augmented new avenues.

Hello everyone.

I would like to say that technology affects the job a lot. I mean with the new technology you can make your job better and interesting, nowadays technology is changing in the very fast rate, a lots of software have come for doing the work in a smarter way. But yes it reduces the manual works, all the things which were done manually, all these can be done by computers. Unemployment is increasing nowadays, that may be the reason of the new technology.

Hi Friends,

I want to add some points to this, as new technology comes it will depend that it will impact on job or not because there are various technologies which provide huge opportunities for jobs let' s take the example internet.

So, it is not like that technology leads to the unemployment always rather it also provides the employment.
