Thus, those alone are substantial reasons for companies to invest in automatic

technology. On one side, in my view, no one deserves to spend 45h per week in a
factory doing the same movement over and over again until they retire, so somehow I
believe that if we look at the long-term outcome people’s lives will improve, but like
everything else, there is going to be a harsh transition process where people will be
facing many economic difficulties and live a life full of uncertainties. Erik Brynjolfsson
and Andrew McAfee state that as we advance in the technological era a considerable
number of people will be left behind (West, 2015) but I believe that at some point,
people will adapt to find the right balance. Big corporations who can afford to reinvent
their businesses with robots have already embraced this method; but, as the cost of
automated technology falls, demand rises, and even tiny businesses will rely on robots
rather than people. Robots are quicker than humans, they won't complain about long
hours of labor, and in a corporate setting, all of the rights that previous generations
battled for will practically evaporate. As a result, those are compelling reasons for
businesses to invest in automated technologies. On the one hand, no one, in my
opinion, deserves to spend 45 hours per week in a factory repeating the same
movement until they retire, so I believe that if we look at the long-term outcome,
people's lives will improve, but, as with everything else, there will be a difficult transition
period during which people will face many economic difficulties and live a life full of
uncertainties. According to Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, as the technology era
progresses, a significant proportion of people will be left behind (West, 2015), but I
believe that people will eventually adjust to achieve the perfect balance.

In my opinion, the success of technologies is displacing humans depending on each

country. According to the study, robots in Japan's Henn-na Hotel do a variety of
activities that humans can perform, such as checking people in and escorting guests to
their rooms (West, 2015). In some nations, this sort of technology can slash employment
availability, leaving people jobless, but I don't believe that such robots will ever become
popular in Italy since Italians and all that surrender the food is precious. As a result, if
restaurants use robots, people will cease eating out. There are also other technologies
that, in my opinion, have a limited potential to replace people's work, such as
educational technology. For me, education is one of the most essential things, and even
if we have seen during this epidemic that it is possible to learn from the sofa using only
a computer, it would still be lacking something. I regard school as a second extended
family, and just as no robot can ever replace a parent's work, no robot can ever replace
a teacher's job. We must remember that children must develop intellectually as well as
acquire knowledge.
Because we are losing our capacity to connect with people in real life, and because
everything needs to happen instantaneously, we do not have the patience to wait for
anything or invest time in someone when we can find another, we are becoming more
passive-aggressive with one other. Technology has undoubtedly had a good influence
on my life. For example, throughout my travels, I met numerous people from all over the
world with whom I can keep in touch owing to technology. I can learn anything I want
just by conducting little online research. Since then, my job has grown simpler, and I can
now work from home without sacrificing productivity. When I consider my life 15 years
ago, I realize how much technology I utilize in my daily existence. Since everyone
possesses a phone with an unlimited number of apps, how we communicate with others
has altered dramatically. I don't consider the change to be a bad thing in general, but I
feel that technology is making us much more shallow in our interactions in this situation.
Even dating has evolved with the introduction of online dating, in which you search for
your other half on an app by swiping right and left, but the ideal match is always the
next one. Technology, like anything else, must be utilized with caution, and individuals
must strike the correct balance to maintain contact with reality.

To summarize, we are entering a new period that can be frightening and disheartening,
but evolution is a natural part of our existence, and governments and people will find
the proper balance to survive. The only thing that concerns me is what will happen to
our sentiments in a society dominated by robots.
