Technology advancing Technology has increased at a rapid rate. In the last 20 years technology has changed significantly. Technology has become part of the everyday life, every aspect of lied is beginning to include some sort of technology. The treadmills at the gym have mini T.v screens to play games and watch T.v. Mirrors in bathrooms are beginning to have t.v screens. Fancy gadgets in hotels, restaurants or parks help improve the image and reputation of the areas. The speed in which technology is advancing cannot be stopped because many countries want to use technology to increase their economy. Technology does slow down job creation however if the technology in a specific country is of the highest level, the economy of the country increases drastically. As much as technology decreases the job creation statistics. Many people are taking how effective technology is on their future lightly, people are unaware of how quickly technology is advancing. In 15 years there have been many great breaks in technology, hybrid cars and cars that run recycled waste. Technology does create jobs for many people, However the unskilled workers will not benefit. Many of the machines created are very advanced and to get a worker to learn how to operate the machine costs a great deal of many therefore many business prefer to use people with a higher level skill background in order to ensure the money they invest in the worker is worth it. Since technology is new and quickly advancing, many business prefer to train the younger generations. This is so that they may advance with the technology and find ways of improving it to make it much better. This means that the older generations odds of getting a job decreases even more. The older generations may ... ... middle of paper ... ... be more skilled when it comes to technology. Technology in the agriculture sector specifically farming. Technology is taking over the jobs of the middle to lower class in his sector, simple jobs as putting food into the animals bowls/feeding containers is being done by machines now. Machines simply release the food at a certain time and the animals are able to eat. Most of the food of late has been produced by advanced technological devices. The crop picker sand planters no longer have jobs because technology has taken over there jobs. This isn't helping to create job creation in the world we live in. A phrase that is becoming used often is, "New technology, and the end of jobs." This phrase is partially true. Technology is too blame for the decrease in jobs in many industries. Technology is disadvantaging us more than being a beneficiary however this will change.

Since the beginning of man, humans have adapted to their environment by creating tools; some of the earliest being stones and sticks to the introduction of the wheel, in which all were purposed to make life more efficient. Yet there are those who believe that some revolutionary innovations have actually hindered humankind more than helped. However, these pessimist are faulty since even mistakes made in the technological world have still led to unexpected breakthroughs and in turn their positive effects outweigh their negative ones. Evidently, advancements in technology are made simply to facilitate the survival of humans therefore it is clearly beneficial to society and its growth.

Technology unemployment is unemployment due to our discovery of means of economizing the use of labor outrunning the pace at which we can find new uses for labor. (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2011)
As we move on in time more advancement in technology such as robots are being created to work in the labor force like never seen before. Meaning that employment rates are going to be affected since right now these advancements in technology are replacing labor jobs especially those in factories. As mentioned in the “World without Work” by Derek Thompson the senior editor at the Alantic, “Technology could exert a slow but continual downward pressure on the value and availability of work.” Thompson argues how in the present and in the upcoming future technological devices such as robots will decrease the amount of jobs since it is already happening in factories today. Such as the Ford Motor Company were robots replaced many labor workers already,
Through global economic integration and the birth of global factories, many “underdeveloped” countries believed that these corporations would resurrect their dying economies by providing jobs to their many unemployed workers. However, these corporations did not hire the unemployed male but women usually between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one who worked approximately ten hours per day in extremely poor working conditions for very low wages. As a result, this left mostly the unemployed male (and/or the unemployed female over twenty-one) in a position to either migrate for work or become a caretaker for their families’ children.
“One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man” (Hubbard 151). Elbert Hubbard, an American writer and the founder of Roycroft Artisan community, predicted the future with his epigram. His maxim would resonate for years to come and would be seen in the future job markets. For thousands of years, technology has fundamentally changed the way we live and interact with our environment. It has brought us from the Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution. It has taken us from the creation of the computer to the landing on the moon. Not only has technology affected the old, but also it has affected the youth. For the old and aged, modern technological innovations have brought about longer lives through medicine and other health care. People today are able to live longer, live stronger, and live happier. As for the youth and growing generations, technology has also affected them in various ways. From entertainment to education, technology has designed a generation that could never have been before imagined. But technology has not stopped there; it also has affected their future. From what careers they will pursue to how much they will earn, technology will play a big role. With the rise of new machines and equipment, thousands of jobs will be created that will range from ones that involve handling the machinery to ones that cannot be done by machinery. However on the other hand, new technology also takes away thousands of other jobs from society. As businesses look for ways to maker bigger profits, they will start replacing workers with machinery that could do the job faster and better. While the amount of unemployed may increase due to the advancement of technology, there will also b...
When I was first assigned, the “invent your own technology” assignment, I had no idea of how I was going to complete this project. I had no understanding of why we had to create a project like this, especially when there are already various writing technologies available to us. I can honestly say, that by the end of this project I had realized how much technologies such as computers, typewriters, pens, pencils, and paper are taken for granted everyday. Dennis Barron said “writing is first and foremost a technology” (Barron, 37). This statement is something that I agree with! I think that any way someone writes should be considered a technology.
This is to say that even if one’s field of expertise is needed today, it may not be tomorrow. This type of ever-changing job market leads many to believe that another socio-economic change may occur at any time. This change was apparent with the transition into the industrial age and again in the information age. These concerns caused stress, various health issues, and economic troubles.... ...
So much so that we sometimes lack the willingness to think before we act. We become impatient if it takes more than a few seconds to download a copy of the morning newspaper. We expect immediate responses to our emails, and we expect someone to answer their cell phone whenever and wherever we call. 1.5 Conclusion Needless to say that like any other aspect of development, the technological development is similar to a double edged sword which on one side can kill someone and on the other side can lead to one’s own protection.
Another example of the change in our technology over the last century is the change in the computer. In 1946, the first electronic computer called the ENIAC took up the space of a large room. Instead of using transistors and IC chips, the ENIAC used vacuum tubes. Compared to many computers now, the ENIAC is about as powerful as a small calculator. That may not be much, but it is a milestone because there would not be computers today if it were not for the ENIAC. As the years passed, the computer became smaller and more powerful. Today, more than half of the American population has a computer in their home. The personal computers today are thousands of times more powerful than the most powerful computers fifty years ago.
These statistics are amazing, but even more amazing is the development of computers. Now in 2005, in this short 68-year period, computer technology has changed its entire look; now, we use computer chips instead of vacuum tubes and circuit board instead of wires. The changes in size and speed are probably the biggest. When we look at computers today, it is very hard to imagine computers 60 years ago were such big, heavy monsters.
