Machines are replacing humans in the manual workforce. Do you think the positive effects outweigh the negative effects?
With the industrial evolutions, the
people
are releasing their labour by the replacement in many kinds of tasks
. In my opinion, although
there are some drawbacks when machines
replace humans
in many jobs
, I believe the benefits are significant.
One commonly cited disadvantage of machines
handling human work is the scare of unemployment. It is true that machines
can do many hard jobs
smoothly at a lower cost and response. As the cost of machines
is now more affordable, many companies have replaced their human workforce with innovative machines
with the aim of higher profits. As result, many workers become unemployed. One example is that many candy companies replaced their labour with machines
in many stages of manufacturer processes which caused a number of workers to lose jobs
.
However
, machines
have many positive contributions which can compensate for the drawback. Firstly
, Machines
are more efficient and durable. In many tasks
of work, machines
can do faster and more accurately than humans
, moreover
, machines
can operate continuously days and nights while workers need time for refreshment. As a result
, machines
can create more value and higher productivity. For example
, a packaging system can make one thousand products an hour while people
handling this
task will need two labours doing in eight hours.
Secondly
, machines
can help people
with dangerous tasks
. There are such
vastly numerous hazardous jobs
that may put humans
at risk if doing them due to the circumstance is not convenient for people
. However
, machines
can undertake these tasks
well without any harm. For instance
, in the rescue of victims of fires, robots can be used to enter the fired and smoked building to grab the people
out.
In conclusion, despite there being some drawbacks, machines
have more significant benefits which can help to increase productivity and replace humans
in many dangerous jobs
