▶ Your Answer : There are many revolutionized in the workplace from technological advances. And some machines could make us more comfortable such as a printer, computer, and photocopier. So that, many workers are replaced with machines these days. It causes unemployment. In following the paragraphs, I will discuss both views and state my personal opinion. It is undeniable fact that rate of unemployment rose by technology. There are kinds of labour-saving machines and time-saving machines which are more effective than human being such as automatic checkout counter in the supermarket. From these points, many unskilled workers lost their job. for example, one of my friends worked in the iron factory. One day, that owner bought more effective machine due to saving labour fee. So that, my friend lost a job and studying again to get a job. On the other hand, there are some obvious reasons for unemployment, it is also the fact that there are enormous newly created jobs in modern society such as programmer and so on. All the technology is made by a human. Furthermore, only human can manage and repair that technology. Although technology is the source of unemployment, it is not all the reason for people losing their jobs. We faced a huge global economic crisis. Indeed, people can not get a job easily result from the economic crisis. That think which technology have a negative effect on unemployment is micro-perspective. In my opinion, I agree that technologies have certain demerits, I can not agree that technology is the cause of all the reason of unemployment
