Is technology helping or slowing us down in the workforce?



What do you guys think, is technology helping or slowing us down in the wor? In my opinion I can see it in both ways. For example, I think technology is more efficient in the workforce in today's world. It can also slow us down a bit but it just does the work for them. In this post I will talk about both the pros and cons of technology in the workforce in today’s world. 

 

What are the pros in having technology in the workforce in today's world? In today's world companies want to have the most technology so they can be most successful. In my dads company we are pretty old school. We keep our books in a journal. My parents are trying to find a spreadsheet that would make it go a lot faster to do billing. For example the bigger companies that have to keep track of more things, will be all electronically. In my opion I feel that the technology in today's world can go either way. Also, technology can be very helpful in factories. The machines nowadays are all run electronically, and it makes the process 100 times faster. The factories can ship stuff out faster and then they make a bigger profit off the sale for how fast they can make it. 

 

What are the cons in having technology in the workforce in today’s world? In today’s world all of the companies are trying to find ways to improve their business. So, most companies are using technology so the workers don’t have to do as much and the machines are a lot faster. If a company is using technology to make everything speed up, what if the machine shuts down and then stops working. Then you can’t ship supplies out fast enough and then customers get mad and might not ever order or have work done for them again. So, you lose a customer and it could be multiple ones. 



So, what do you think about having technology in today's workforce? In this post there are both the pros and cons of having technology do the work for you. All the companies in today’s world's main focus is to make everything as fast and efficient as possible. Either it is inside in an office or it is in a factory shipping supplies out to customers in need.

    • I agree that the technology is helping the workfore in mulitple ways.

  • I think that it is helping us and slowing us down.  Technology is much faster than writing it down on pen and paper.  However, I believe that technology is so distracting.  It is a good distraction. There are games and social media that can be very distracting.  I think it's a good thing though.

    • I agree that technology is very distracting.

  • I think that technology is speeding up the workforce. Some of the technology is helping make stuff faster and if they build something it can be done a lot faster than if a person was doing it. Some of the bad stuff about technology is a lot of people are losing their jobs.

  • I think that technology is improving the workforce by a lot. Technology is helping us do things at the same quality that we like but in a much faster way. We can have quality and quantity, which is what the United States is all about. Technology will continue to improve, no matter how great it gets.

  • I think that technology is helping improve the workforce. Most of the technology that has already been incorporated is very helpful for the workforce and improves efficiency and results. The economic improvement that machines have had on the workforce is very visible. The workforce can definitely still be improved from technology.

  • It's almost undeniable that technology is eliminating jobs and helping the workforce. We will always need people to create and run the technology but with technology it's a lot quicker. Technology is continuing to improve and it will most likely keep improving in the future.

  • I think that technology is helping in the workface. Technology can make work more efficient and easier to do. It can also help in factories so that most of the work does not have to be manual. I do think that technology can improve more and more as people in the future keep investigating. 

  • I think that technology is speeding up the workforce a ton. Though there are many cons to this, technology has given us the potential to do almost anything. People can get really lazy, but with more and more inventions day by day, the world is going to be completely different because of the workforce in a few short decades.

  • I believe that technology is speeding up the workforce. I think technology is great, and that it makes a lot of processes quicker. I think that there is always room for improvement with technology because it seems like everyeyar it gets better.
