Hello friends.

I'm Suresh Gajeli.

So the topic is quite interesting. Impact of technology on jobs.

Yes. It does affect the percentage of employment in recent times and will downgrade the human valuable efforts. Everyone is aware of technology and it's booming development and innovations all over the globe. Advanced technology does help the industries and other manufacturing companies to raise their profit percentage with no human efforts. Likewise this technology is also the reason of unemployment in this developing era. The automation is downgrading the need of human efforts and the number of job openings too. Yes! Technology is needed to improve the life time of products and to reach it to each and every citizen. But it also affecting the human efforts who was craving to get the job since long period. I think the government should try to focus on this and should give the maximum availability of jobs to those who are looking for it. Technology does help the people but it is also affecting the families. I think the part of innovation should be such that its output will bring the more number of jobs in the market.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I am Sumit and belong to Kanpur (UP).

Dear friends, now I would like to talk about AI or technology,

The ability of a computer system or a machine to behave intelligently with some human traits is known as artificial intelligence.

Driverless cars, interpretation of human speech, high-level gaming strategies, and deciding complex data etc, are all possible because of adding artificial intelligence to machines.

AI is increasing by leaps and bounds. New inventions using AI are making our lives simpler. For example, the use of voice assistants, Alexa, Siri is increasing.

Dear friends, as we know that AI can be used for security purposes of confidential information. Features like face recognition are used, which require AI in a computer.

AI can be used in daily life, like Google maps, voice assistance and online shopping, and it works like a brain. It tries to copy how the human brain works.

At last, in my opinion, emerging technologies are welcomed with open arms. It is a blessing in disguise, but we should also be careful about the misuse and be vigilant about it.

In my opinion, Technology plays a very important role in our lives and this has become a boon as well as Bane in our day to day life. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The same way the way we use gives us the result which may be in either way. Nowadays it has become the utmost need as we use it in all means of life. As in any job, we cannot survive without the knowledge of technology as our World has become a Tech World. This is evident as we go for interviews they question our technical knowledge. For example, A teacher should be well versed in this and nowadays in schools, they hire teachers only those who are good in system knowledge though they are good in subject depth. In this pandemic period, this was really a helpful tool as many institutions and offices were intact irrespective of lockdown. A new style of work from home have taught many things and the knowledge of technology have reached in nook and corner from literate to illiterate. So, let's use this as a boon by not misusing and gaining more knowledge and spreading awareness about this too.

Thank you.

As we know about that we are living in the 21st century right now. To change ourselves or to update ourselves according to the time it is the nature of law. Likewise, we have to accept the new technology and have to update our work and processes. The main purpose of any work and process is to increase efficiency. And by adopting the new technology the efficiency of work will be increased.

The advantages of technology:

1) The work efficiency will increases.
2) The quality of work increases.
3) The labour cost will decreases.
4) The number of error decreases.
5) Time taken by the process will be.
Decreases.
6) The accuracy of work increases.

Hence the technology increases the job will be decreased but if technology updated then people must have to update themselves according to the new technology then and the unemployment will reduce. Because the technology is created by the human itself so to apply that technology at a particular time and at a particular domain is only knows the human. So technology is good if we update ourselves according to that technology.

Technology has made number of jobs redundant. Like atm replaces some banks. The new era of technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning etc are resulting in job losses but at the same time it is helping in growth of economy.

Technology result in improving lifestyle, increases consumerism and increase employment opportunities. Like building houses with 3D printers is a great invention in technology but it will result in job losses. At the same time, it will create more affordable homes so people want to buy it. Technology will increase productivity and reduce burden of workers. Due to technology, demand for technical youth is increasing nowadays and hence more jobs are available for educational youths. Also technologies are increasing in IT sector. Machines and automation are replacing by low skilled workers and if company do not replace low skilled workers, it will susceptible to losses due to heavy competition with the other companies. Technical advancement is forcing people to get updated with knowledge to sustain in job market.

Technology is a boon not a curse. Technology is the evolution of the country. Nowadays technology changes everything that sitting in home we are accessing many tasks such as bank account issues, booking tickets in online etc. Automation technology has made it dam easy to each and every individual that sitting in the office we can operate our home appliances like switching on the rice cooker, air conditioner etc. In my view increasing technology means increasing in the machinery. This reduces the burden of man. Nowadays artificial intelligence came into existence that the data can be stored very easily. This impacts mainly on job because previously this work is done by the people but technology is increased now every thing is accessible by machines. I don't think that jobs are not existing NO there exists but due to this growing technology the people don't have a proper awareness on the technologies and this is the main problem which are facing by each and every individual. So in my view impact of technology on jobs is true for some extent.

Good morning to one and all,

Today the topic is about the impact of technology on jobs, in earlier days no one is aware of social media and mobile phones, but now all are aware of both because the technology was developing. And also in earlier days, we need to go to an organisation and apply to the opportunity of an interview, but now no need to go for the organisation, in my home only we are able to apply for the jobs. By increasing technology, it has some advantages and disadvantages also, but there is fewer disadvantages compared to advantages. Recently one robot can do a 2000 plant sapling in just one hour. We all know about the app we use in our mobile phones like ola, uber, zomato, swiggy by ordering in it by sitting at home we can get a finish that works, no need of going to a hotel or to cab stands. And if we can follow an official page on social media or some another app we can get the notifications related to that page. If we follow page like job mela then we get notifications related to the job, it will help you to get a job.

Hello friends!

Technology provides us with a way to do the same thing smartly with less hard work. Now, we have highly advanced machines, robots etc. That can do our tasks easily in a short span of time.

So such side of technology reflects a view that it has reduced the need for labour. So we can say reduced the jobs for workers.

But there is another side of technology which reflects a totally different aspect. Technology has developed scopes like photography, automation, software development etc. It has developed varieties. Now we want a huge collection of choices. These emerging scopes have also brought more jobs.

But most of these jobs are related to technical and literate people. Now the question arises what about illiterate people. Technology has reduced their job options.

As technology is necessary for smooth and comfortable life so one solution is that we should provide proper training to those people who don't have any idea to use the new machines so that they can also earn their livelihood by adopting new technologies.

Hello everyone.

We have topic 'impact of technogy on jobs' to discuss here.

Obviously, new technology help in the development of India. New technology making work easier and more accurate. But it it disadvantages too.

1. New technology increasing the unemployment rate by replacing manual work with digital programming.

2. Machine with inbuilt programming alone handle work which was executed by 10 workers. So the requirement of workers is reduced.

3. In companies due to achievement of max accuracy and more targets, advanced technology is preferable over unskilled labour.

4. Nowadays digital technology implemented in railways, metro decreasing need for more workers.

In my opinion as new technology help to grow rapidly to develop the country on another side there is a bad impact on the unemployment rate so there is a need to create more jobs. Gov have to invest more on small and medium scale entrepreneur to create more jobs. In 2019 gov announced at Manirbhar Bharat package to create more employment and making India self reliant.

Good afternoon,

This is Ajay Kumar, today I am discussing on the topic impact of technology on jobs. I would like to tell you about what is technology? It refers to the study of skills, techniques, processes and methods for the production of goods and services. LIKE EVERY COIN HAS TWO FACES IT ALSO HAVE BOTH ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE. Firstly I am talking about the advantages.

1) By 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 organisation.

Now, we discuss disadvantages:

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

2) Also with the increase of technology human becomes lazy.

3) With the increase of technology less chance to get a job in any organisation.

That's about all.

Thanks.
