The Impact of computers/technology on the Canadian workplace has many subtopics that can be discuss on this paper, but base on the major of studies our group is taking at Centennial College, which is Software Engendering Technician or Technology, there are two issues to discuss virtual workers and robotic processes automation. Fist of all, virtual workers are more common now than any time before, they work for multiple companies and at the same time they are no working as a permanently staff for any company, this situation has two faces, for the companies it is an advantage because they are no paying benefits and rent or maintenance for the location where the employees are usually working, …show more content…

Another example, Banks, they are closing branches all the time because people is no having the need to go to the branch any more, because most of the transactions can be done online, but what we are not seeing is the software robots that are taking those transactions at night and making all the calculations, preparing all the reports and sending all the transfers or paying all the bills. Those software robots are there and are there in silent, they never get late, or mad, the never call on sick or ask for a rice> In the other hand those robots are learning, not only from our input, but also from other machines and from their own databases, those software robots are having a real impact over the Canadian workforce and for the next 10 to 20 years around 42% of what we know as labour force will be affected not only because some job will be lost, but in addition because most of what we know as a job can be done by a software robots.

  • Summary Of The Next Canada

    In The Next Canada: In Search of Our Future Nation Myrna Kostash assesses the future of Canada, one that she argues is different from her own generation. For the purpose of this research paper I will focus on Kostash’s subsection on culture and media – pages 65 to 76. It begins with the nexus generation, the group of individuals who bridge two periods of technological popularity: Industrial and Information (Kostash 65). This group, who was born between the early 1960s and late 1970s, have a unique ability to acknowledge the past while also living and understanding new wave technology as it grew. Kostash argues that mass media became the language of the generation and their ability to understand its broadcasting was a skill – they were experts.

    As with the Industrial Revolution, the Robot Revolution has too been faced with many adversaries. As in the past many claim that it would be end of society as we know it, so does Craig Lambert in “Our Unpaid, Extra Shadow Work.” Lambert argues against the automation of, what use to be, human jobs. Lambert, an editor and writer at the Harvard Magazine, argues that automation has lead to a loss of 3 million jobs (861). Lambert also exclaims that “the robots are in charge now, pushing a thousand routine tasks onto our backs” (862).

  • Migrant Workers In Canada

    1081 Words  | 5 Pages

    Employment does not necessarily mean earning a steady income, partaking in benefits or living a healthy, stress-free lifestyle. In fact, some people are persuaded into contract or temporary jobs because they are desperately in need of employment (this includes low pay, travelling far distances, and being without benefits). Migrant workers are people who come to Canada with a work permit but do not have residential status (Carpentier and Fiset 2011:4). Working in Canada with a temporary status makes them vulnerable because they are working for a system that does not respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of migrant workers (Carpentier and Fiset 2011:11).

  • Better Than Human Analysis

    In “Better than Human”, Kelly mentions that it will be a trend for robots to replace humans on most, or even every working position in the near future as a outcome of the development of automaton-related technology. “We need to let robots take over”, Kelly assures, “they will do jobs we have been doing, and do them much better than we can (Kelly 311)”. With his observation of the invention of Baxter, he is persuaded in a great extent that humans will acquire new jobs as their old jobs get replaced by automatons. This newly invented robot surprisingly contains several epochal features, disregarding its extremely low price compared to its predecessors. With its benefits, Baxter can be promoted easily and applied to many industries, decreasing the costs of production and even re-generating the market eventually.
