In the 1950's, futurists predicted that the invention of labour saving machines such as the household dishwasher and robots in factories meant that the common worker would enjoy a 3-day work week. Ironically, improvements in technology have led to the disappearance of better paying skilled work and people working harder than ever before. What is your opinion? How much does technology improve your life and the lives of people in general?
Personally I do not think that technology is really helping the population in terms of work. Although so many new technologies are helpful to the world, other are only doing harm. Technologies in regards to medicines and saving our earth are fantastic but so many other things are unneeded.
In a realistic perspective it is not necessary to have robots doing jobs that humans can do. Robots take over so many jobs that any person is capable of doing, this is probably part of the reason that our economy blows. So many people are jobless, in todays society and if they aren't jobless their pay sucks. Why would companies pay a person when they can just buy a robot and end the story.
It is rediculous how many adults are getting laid off and lossing jobs. This is also very dangerous to our society, if our parents are loosing their jobs, what will the out come for us be. Especially since technology is advancing so quickly even cashiers are being taken away a grocery stores. Our society is becoming extremely unfocused on communication and positive atmosphere. Although technology is supposed to improve the quailty of life, but it does not do this for everyone. For some people it makes it so much harder and it makes like a living hell. It is impossible to maintain a life without a computer, and that is rediculous. As a society we need to learn how to not rely on all our "gadgets" it is okay to pick up a phone, or write a letter.
We need to work together to learn how our ancestors got through tough times. We need to learn that a computer or a robot, is not whats going to give us our money.
