Is the impact of technology on the world of work positive or negative?
Genaro Galleotti, 11.º C | 28-05-2024
During the last decades, technology has been developed in several ways, we can actually ask a program about a lot of information available on the Internet. This can have both pros and cons if applied in the world of work.
In my opinion, technology can revolutionize the way we work, it is actually happening in developed countries in the medical field, for example.
On the one hand, the positive aspects can be the automation of repeated jobs, which might allow humans to have more free time than before, factories are an example. Furthermore, modern technology nowadays searches for a lot of information very fast, and you can take advantage of this if you want to do a big analysis of data.
On the other hand, if robots work better than humans, there will be a lot of unemployment.
Finally, I have to mention the negative impact that this progress can have in older generations, making it more difficult for them to be completely adapted.
