Advances in technology and automation have reduced the need for manual labour. (opinion) Therefore, working hours should be reduced. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The modern era has undergone a mammoth change. Where, in earlier times, all

work

had been done manually, todays, it is witnessing a huge difference due to progress. Putting the discussion in a wider context, the concept of decreasing labour hours due to technology advancement and automation, which often trim the manual labour,

has always been

had always been

debatable.

Consequently

, to my way of thinking, the suggestion of the cutback should be implemented and the reason for

this

may come from a wide range of plausible justifications. There are manifold points to shore up my point of view. Technological improvement has increased the productivity and accuracy in the contemporary

work

;

hence

the need for physical workers decreases. To justify the same, there is an epitome of bank cashier. In the pre computer era, bank cashier had to

work

manually, check different ledger files, verify the person’s identity and

then

a customer.

Besides

, at the end of the day, he had to calculate all the transactions alone before leaving the office.

However

,

this

is no longer the case with the automation in the banking industry. A cashier can now serve 4-5 customers within 15 minutes and at the end of the day, the calculation is done with the banking software.

Therefore

, reducing the working

time

seems quite logical to me. To

further

emphasize my prospective, reducing working hour could be lucrative for employees to balance between personal and professional life. To illustrate, a person can spend quality

time

with the family at that free

As a result

from his/her monotonous routine.

Hence

continuously.

Finally

, the organizations which remain opens 24

hours

like the hospitals, fire service and so on should implement the rostering system and use of machines as much as to reduce the manual workforce. As a consequence,

this

would not only enhance overall productivity, but

also

establish the healthy and productive

work

environment. To recapitulate, considering everything, I personally believe that the

time

to complete the job should be trimmed out. The reason is that

although

staffs have multiple tasks, they are enabled to do more

work

per hour with the use of machinery advances.
