Two weeks
ago, we got the privilege to go to Toronto to visit two agencies and the
printing press. While we were visiting the printing press a few things came to
my mind. I thought about all the effort put into making one book, how enhanced
the machines are and what if the machines became more enhanced?
What I mean
by this is, if machines in factories keep becoming enhanced in technology it
could take away many jobs. Technology is a great benefit to some jobs like
public relations but it could possibly take the jobs of factory workers.
For public
relations, the new apps, technology deceives and communication opportunities is
a great benefit to the industry. It has made it easier to connect with people
in the industry and created many jobs for people in public relations.
New
technology though is not a benefit to factory workers. Last summer I worked at
Honda Canada Manufacturing on the assemble line. As I was there, there were many new
machines getting put in to make the employees jobs easier and less hard on
their bodies. It is a good thing the machines helped to make the factory
employees work easier, but so many machines were getting brought in we didn’t
need all the man power we once had. People had to start getting sent to
different zones because they were no longer needed in their current one. Also,
when we were at the printing press, our tour guide was explaining how one
machine was getting replaced so workers didn’t have to do a certain job
anymore. In a way this benefited some employees but what happens if one day the
machines do everything and we don’t need any factory workers?
Overall, new
technology has become a great benefit for some people in their careers, like
public relations, but for some people new technology could take away their
jobs. Technology will keep advancing everyday so is it taking away jobs or
creating jobs?
