Technology should replace human labor

Section 1: Here is a list of disadvantages of machinery. They are monotonous. While people have to use machines people only have to do a few mechanical tasks (i. e. pressing buttons, repair, et. ). This can cause people to get lazy, and if they go get a job that doesn't use machines, they'll lose it pretty quickly because they aren't use to the work. We will no longer learn skills we need to survive or actually use them. One who builds a machine has only then to look after it. This is considered a great national loss. Machines aren't artists. They can't paint, act, write or do anything creative. If we tried to replace all our painters, writers, actors, etc. , we'd no longer have entertainment. We'd lose a pass time, or more. Machines create dependence. Take welfare for isntance. With more machines taking over jobs, the number of unemployed has increased, meaning there are more people on welfare. Since people are making a lot off of welfare, they won't look for another job, they'll stay on welfare. If machines replace all human workers, we'll no longer be dependent. Machines can be destructive. Take the atom bomb for instance. It destroyed an entire city. Because of this it's believed that machines should be condemned for their history of destruction. The machines in big factories have created insanitary environments and have put women and children to work for a long time. With men, women and children working, they'd have no time to spend together. Machines destroy family lives, and family is one of the most important parts of everyone's life. Machines have been over specialized. Workers only have a narrow sphere of work, they don't know anything else. Again, this increases the risk of unemployment. Machinery is responsible for class conflict, which has destory the social harmony we once had. Labourers are now fighting Capitalism just for the ability to work. Again. Unemployment is brought up. This will ruin our economy. There are a lot of disadvantages to machinery. I'm sure there's more disadvantages than there are advantages. The biggest problem is unemployment. This ruins the economy as it creates inflation and we can't buy anything. The government would have to hand out money, because we'd no longer be able to earn it seeing as there wouldn't be any jobs left. Then, all that money will go to the companies who will keep it, because we all know how the government doesn't tax the rich people enough. Replacing all human workers with machines is a great way to destroy any country. . http://www.economicsdiscussion.net...Section 2: Here's a list of advantages of human workers. Human's can run a government. This should speak for itself seeing as machines cant' think for themselves. At least not on political matters. Customer services. People have, and always will be better at customer interactions than machines ever will be. We as people have feelings, and can understand what someone needs and when. Machines would create unhappy customers, and the company will receive a lot of complaints and will have to eventually close down due to loss of business. Humans are important to our economy as well as our defenses and other jobs and things. There will always be something that we can do that machines can't do. No matter how hard anybody tries, they'll never create a machine that can do everything we can. . http://yourbusiness.azcentral.com...Section 3: We are heading to a world where 50%-75% of all people are unemployed. Like I said earlier, unemployment will create inflation, which pretty much means we don't have an economy any more. We'd no longer have financial support for our military. This would leave us with a weak, or no military at all. America and all other countries who replace their workers with machines, will be destroyed by those who haven't followed into our footsteps, including the terrorists that already threaten us today. What doesn't help is that unemployment rate is going up thanks to Obama and Obamacare. The shadowstats (the number of unemployed citizens that the government doesn't account for or recognize) is almost at 25%. How much greater will the precentage be in 10-25 years? Are we really willing to risk it reaching 100? Is it worth the risk? I'd like to ask the readers of this debate that are currently in the work force: Do you really want to lose your job? What would you do with out it? You can't sit inside and play video games all day. You'd get bored and you wouldn't be able to buy new games because you wouldn't have money. After a while you might not even have a home. This is the future that machines promise us. .. In short terms. .. There is no future. . http://www.businessinsider.com...I'd
