TECHNOLOGY AND JOBS
Technology and Jobs
Abstract
Have you ever asked yourself whether or not technology may possibly be taking away multiple jobs from us humans? Why is this so? Jobs are becoming increasingly obsolete due to the fact that now, the job can be done by a computer. Now, when you go to the grocery store, there are self-checkout registers in which you, the consumer, do the work while the cashier’s job becomes less aggravating. Also, in the medical field, there are many operations and procedures that can now be calculated with certain technology. Moreover, in the engineering world, jobs are becoming deleted because of computers. Go back a few decades in time and try to imagine calculating something without a calculator. At an alarming rate, technology is decreasing our jobs at a very alarming rate. At this pace, in the future, all work will eventually be carried out by robots and computers.
Keywords: technology, jobs, computer, calculate, work

“The U.S. economy hit an important milestone last week: Gross domestic product, the sum of all goods and services produced in the country, returned to pre-recession levels. But the gains were made with millions fewer workers. Part of the reason is technology, as computers and machines continue to replace humans.” You must ask yourself whether or not technology may possibly be taking away multiple jobs from us humans.

Now, when you go to the grocery store, there is self-checkout registers in which you, the consumer, do the work while the cashier’s job becomes less aggravating. Also, in the medical field, there are many operations and procedures that can now be calculated with special technology.
