A Gift of Fire Third edition Sara Baase

[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone! Technology has been a part of our lives for some time now, and its impact on our work and lives is undeniable. Today, we will be looking at the effects of technology on the workplace, and how it has changed the way we work. We will analyze the pros and cons of the digital revolution and the implications it has for our lives, from the comfort and productivity it provides, to the potential for abuse and the need for safety measures. Let's take a look at a few of the ways technology has changed the workplace..

[Virtual Presenter] Discussing the impact of technology on employment, we will take a look at the changes it has brought about, the fears and questions it has raised, the impact on employment and the work environment, as well as the issues that arise from employee crime and employee monitoring. In detail, we will explore each of these topics to gain a better understanding of the complexities of this issue..

[Audio] for the sick, and secretaries still do filing What are the ethical implications of the changes brought about by computer technology What will be the role of humans in a world of computers How can we prepare for the changes that are coming?" Technology is changing the way we work and the way we live, bringing both opportunities and challenges. Computers are increasingly freeing us from the mundane, repetitive aspects of our jobs, allowing us to spend more time on the tasks that require human intuition, creativity and insight. Despite the widespread use of computer technology, people are still the ones doing the work. Nurses are still caring for the sick, and secretaries are still filing. At the same time, the introduction of computer technology into the workplace raises important ethical questions. What will be the role of humans in a world of computers? How can we prepare for the changes that are coming? How do we ensure that technology is used in a way that benefits people, both in terms of employment and quality of life? These are questions that we must consider and answer as we move into this brave new world..

[Audio] Computer technology has revolutionized the current working environment. Initially, many were concerned that computers would cause large-scale unemployment due to their increased efficiency. However, this has not been the case, as the need for better skills and training has created an earning gap and a digital divide between those who have access to digital knowledge and those who do not. Offshoring and outsourcing have further widened the competition, raising questions about the safety of existing jobs. Companies must stay competitive in the digital era and provide workers with the necessary tools and education to keep up with a dynamic workplace..

[Audio] ication services industry decreased by half in a decade. Simultaneously, computer-related occupations increased, such as Information Security Analysts, Web Developers, Computer Network Architects, and Database Administrators". Technology has had a major impact on the job market. Old industries and companies are being replaced by new ones based on digital technologies. As traditional industries become more automated, jobs are often lost. But this automation has also created new jobs in technology-related fields. For instance, in the decade from 2003 to 2013, the number of employees in the wired telecommunication services industry decreased by almost half due to the increase in use of cellphones. Simultaneously computer-related occupations such as Information Security Analysts, Web Developers, Computer Network Architects, and Database Administrators have seen rapid growth. As technology continues to evolve, it is likely that jobs of the future will look very different from the jobs of today..

[Audio] sts for 500000 jobs The shift from labor-intensive to capital-intensive production makes some jobs redundant, but it also creates new ones". The introduction of technology into the workplace has had a profound impact on employment. As manufacturing processes become more efficient, some jobs become redundant, leading to job destruction. At the same time, new technologies create new opportunities, leading to job creation. The Facebook app industry, for example, supports 500000 jobs. Technology has changed not only the type of work available, but also how it is performed. With the rise of automation and robotics, companies are able to operate with fewer employees, but they also require workers with higher levels of skills and knowledge. The result is a workforce that is better educated, more flexible, and more productive..

[Audio] As we look at the history of the job market, it's clear that technology has had a major impact on both job destruction and job creation. In 1900, there were around 900 people in the workforce compared to 2000 when the number was almost 20 times higher. Technology both destroys and creates jobs depending on its purpose and function. It can eliminate existing jobs or job tasks, but it can also open up new possibilities for products and services that weren’t available before. The introduction of the automobile, for example, replaced many buggy and carriage makers, but it also created jobs in automobile production and related industries which outweighs the job losses in the long run. Similarly, the invention of the cotton gin caused displacement of thousands of manual workers, yet it also led to more employment and productivity. The same can also be said of computers. Over the years they have eliminated millions of jobs, but they have also opened up new opportunities in software development, computer production and services, and the Internet. In the end, technology has been a major factor in U S economic growth, creating more jobs and opportunities than it has destroyed. It's up to us as individuals to stay competitive in this changing environment and adapt to new technologies by learning new skills..

[Audio] Technology has enabled faster and more automated decision-making in the financial services industry, potentially impacting financial policies. Such decisions can be more informed and accurate thanks to the access to real-time data, allowing financial institutions to make secure lending decisions. Automation has not only provided an advantage in this area, but also created new job opportunities..

[Audio] legently created jobs have been created such as software programmers and web designers Technological progress has enabled certain tasks to be automated and outsourced to other countries" The advancement of technology has had a huge impact on the job market. With the automation of certain tasks, job destruction is inevitable. While some jobs have been eliminated, such as telephone operators or meter readers, there is an increase in the number of jobs that require a higher level of skill and technological knowledge. Software programmers and web designers, for example, are two jobs that could not have existed before the introduction of technology. Technology also enables certain tasks to be outsourced, leading to cost savings for organizations, but displacement of jobs. The impact of technology on employment is undeniable and requires careful consideration when making decisions about the future..

[Audio] Conclusion of discussion is that technology has had a profound effect on the modern workplace. Comfort has been improved with air conditioning, ergonomic seating, noise control, and collaborative workplaces. Social networks have improved communication and brought about economic changes on a global scale. There are risks too, such as job dismissal and increased demand for skilled workers, as well as new forms of employee crime and easier monitoring. It is clear there are advantages and risks that must be taken into account when looking at the work environment. Thank you for your time and insight..
