In my point of view, there are positive as well as negative impacts of technology are there on jobs.

Firstly, I would like to speak about the positive impacts.

The new technologies have reduced human effort. Last year I went to the numaligarh refinery and in the wax plant of the refinery, I saw that the packaging was done by some machines rather than manually.

It also consumes less time and as a result, more number of works can be done in a given time.

There are also negative impacts such as in the villages there is a huge number of uneducated people who are not familiar with such technologies. So it increases the risk of unemployment.

Also, the technology reduces the manpower there is a huge risk of unemployment. Recently Amazon has launched drone for a delivery purpose which has increased the risk of unemployment for the delivery boy.

Good morning all.

As we all know science has made a lot of progress in improvement, as new studies are going on to cut down a human effort to save time and money the consistent way to copacetic business.

There are many pros and cons of technology.

1. New technology is time- saving and also plays a crucial role in saving additional money on manpower.
2. There will be lesser space for the error that can ruin the entire operation.
3. The work will be performed immaculately without fluctuated peaks in operations.
4. Technology can work all day long without making things screwed up.

Cons:

1. As technology has become the backbone of all the business and technical fault in the machine can cause a delay operation.
2. The personal touch of customer service may fall down due to the use of a manually operated system.
3. It will cause unemployment.

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.

Accordong to me, Technology increases productivity but most of the work we do requires a skills and brains nas brawn, technical exeprtise. In general evolving with technology doesnt make the otger ones unnecessary. In fact it makes them more important to economic value.

I will give you one exp like ATMs could do certain cash handling task faster than tellers but that didn't make tellers unemployable it increased the importance of their problem solbing skills and their realtionship with people.

Automation creates wealth by allowing us to do more work in less time.

But on the other end obviously there is some risk of unemployment for those who are working on repetitive task like transportation and cashier because that work can do easily and smartly by robots. For those who ade working with critical thinking they will on safe job.

Good Afternoon everyone,

The role of Technology has been very important when it comes to jobs. Its has made the process of finding a suitable job very easy. There is so many good job searching website where we can register yourself and the rest of the work is done by that particular website. There are online skill training courses which can be used by a person to make him competent for a particular job. There was a time when filling the form for some job used to be a very hectic procedure but now you just need to go online and rest is very easy.

So, yes technology has proved to be a boon for us but still as they say Every light has its shadow same with technology. In some areas technology is replacing human; for example, in hospitality sectors, human food servers is getting replaced by robot making them redundant.

Thank you.

3. Reduction in Cost of labor.

4. Time-consuming.

5. Error happening in the industry is less.

6. Economy growth.

Negative impact:

1. Due to the increase in automatic machines unemployment is increasing.

2. Dependency on machines is blindly following by organization.

3. Fewer chances of getting jobs in any organization.

That's all thanks.

Hello, friends,

As we know that every topic has some pros and cons.

Advantages:

In my opinion, now a days we all know very well we all are used technology like smartphones and access internet and we are living in 21 century and we can say that is it modern era all people are depends on the technology when ever we want to search or wants to any updates like job current issues, etc. One thing is come in our mind searching on google and we get an answer only some seconds saving our time and we can say that without technology there is no any information to us so its a some pros of technology.

Disadvantages:

When technology was comes employment affected because all company's are using automatic machinery they all are depends the company hire only those people who are high skilled and operates machines.

Thank You.

Impact of technology on jobs-.

Well, it has its positives and negatives. The positive is, it makes the country more prosperous. In today's day and age the more technologically superior a country is, the more prosperous the country would be. The negative is it is creating unemployment like never before. No doubt technology is also creating jobs but there is no guarantee that such jobs would remain forever. With further advancement in technology jobs like in call centers may also become obsolete in future. So anyone, whether illiterate, semi literate, or literate and educated can be affected by technology. Technology can also cause health problems for example working too much time on computer causes eye problems. Government should address this problem without having to compromise with technological development.

Hello everyone,

Technology has changed every aspect of our lives from the way we live to the way we work.

It started from the industrial revolution and it is changing it till now. But the difference now is that it is disrupting traditional industry also.

We have seen how e-commerce has changed how we shop. In this case, it has had both positive as a well negative impact on the industry. Same it has done for other industries. Health care, food, automobile etc.

Technology has changed the landscape of every industry out there. It has also reduced the requirements of the workforce by automation but also created many new jobs.

Moreover, it has created more jobs then it has reduced and made the world a better place.

Therefore I will conclude that technology is having a positive impact in relation to jobs.

Hello, this is Rohit.

So, In my opinion, today's topic is a burning topic i.e. impact of technology on jobs.

Some impacts are as follows:-.

Only positive :

- Increases productivity, efficiency in less physical efforts.
- Makes life easy.
- We can save more time.
- Risk in some jobs like mining, construction, etc decreases.
- Work is done very rapidly.
- Increases the job opportunities for skilled people.

Negative:
- Make life lazy.
- Mental pressure increases.
- Health is deteriorating.
- Employment for unskilled people decreases.

Conclusion:- I would say, India is one of the developing countries, so it is important to introduce technology in every sector but on the other hand, India must focus on creating employment opportunities for unskilled people for the welfare of the country.

Thank you.
