Technology
 comes with both; benefits and curses,
however
, it is debatable whether its positive impact outweigh the negative in the workers' lives or not. Various means of
technology
 include the usage of computers, modern machines with programmable controllers, robots etc. Indeed, modern methods to conduct an activity has replaced the workers with machines. A carpenter takes an hour to cut a piece of wood, but a
machine
 can do
such
 task in a minute. A few decades ago, accountants used to manage the balance sheets of conglomerates, but presently a single accountant can manage
such
 tasks by using softwares.
Such
 technological progress has replaced some of the blue-collared workers
therefore
, they feel that their job security is endangered. In comparison to
this
,
technology
 comes with a price. Not every company can afford the liberty to substitute cheap labour with any form of
technology
. The ultimate benefit that a manual worker brings to an organization is that, various tasks can be conducted by
such
 worker, whereas a
machine
 has certain limitations. Modern
technology
 can do a repetitive task quite
productively
Suggestion
productive
, but in order to carry out creative tasks, manual labour is the utilized.
In addition
, the
cost
 of hiring a worker is known to a company. One of the many disadvantages of owning a modern
machine
 is its additional
cost
.
For example
, the fixed
cost
 of a
machine
 coupled with a variable factor adds to the value of the product that a company is producing which means that the product
cost
 increased,
thus
 whenever
such
 machines are procured, its careful calculations draw the conclusion that workers are better than
such
technology
. In conclusion, I totally believe that no matter how much technological advancements are introduced, workers will always be the primary source of earning for any organization.
Hence
, there are no disadvantages to the workers.
