The Negative Effects Of Modern Technology

1049 Words5 Pages

Counter Arguments From above I had said many arguments on why modern technology will not take over people’s job but sadly the real truth states that almost half of the job is starting to be monopolize by the machines during the current stages. Admittedly, some negative effects have been raised by modern technology (Mahdawi and Chalabi, 2017). To begin with, the development of modern technology has bought us some baneful effects. According to McKinsey & Company they found that about 30% of tasks in 60% of occupations could be computerized and last year (Miremadi et al., 2017) , the Bank of England’s chief economist said that 80m US and 15m UK jobs might be taken over by robots (Events, 2017). Of course, not all jobs that have the same fate of becoming automation. In 2013, a highly cited study by Oxford University academics called The Future of Employment examined 702 common occupations and found that some jobs – telemarketers, tax preparers and sports referees – are at more risk than others including recreational psychologists, dentists and physicians (Benedikt Frey and A. Osborne, 2013). The diagram below are the least safe jobs due to automation.
Another source from Ball State University suggests that automation has already proven a major driver of job loss this millennium (J. Hicks and Devaraj, 2015) (Heater, 2017). The paper notes that the decade between 2000 to 2010 marked the U.S.’s largest decline in manufacturing jobs in its history (Heater, 2017). Those numbers are

    Robots and machines were created to make our lives easier by taking repetitive jobs off our hands and saving time.

In the past, America was promoted as the land of opportunity which brought in new people from around the world, but studies are showing a steady decrease in Immigrants today.

    Before the invention of the computer and the internet, face to face communication was a normal everyday occurrence and loneliness and isolation was a problem that rarely was experienced or discussed.

  • 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.
