Technological progress in the past century has its negative effect, despite its remarkable contribution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

For the

last

ten decades, people have made great

progress

in technology development

such

as hybrid vehicles and solar energy stations. There is a school of thought,

however

, that it renders much negative impact on society including employment problems.

This

essay will look at both sides of the argument and explain why I do not think technological

progress

is negative. It is not difficult to understand why many emphasize the backwardness of technological

progress

. Those improvements, particularly in manufacturing, could affect the structure of the industry, leading to layoffs.

For example

, many famous auto brands like Ford have built modern car factories, adopting robots in the production line, which help them to decrease the numbers of workers and save money.

Thus

, many feel afraid and angry if their job could be replaced by technological

progress

soon. Clearly, the development of technology may cause depressing social issues, it

also

has a considerable contribution to humankind which can hardly be ignored. While it eliminates some occupations, more jobs

such

as computer engineer and programmer are created and become more and more essential in various kinds of company. Those who lost jobs can easily find a new one as long as they receive relating training.

In addition

, technology

also

contributes to the improvement of the working environment, especially those with risks and dangers.

For instance

, it is the technological

progress

in safety monitor and alarm system that save the lives of workers in nuclear power station from the deadly explosion. In conclusion,

although

some people in a particular field may indeed be negatively influenced by technological

progress

, no one could neglect the fact of how it helps society develop and protect members from different occupations.
