Technology is playing a pivotal role in helping humans work more effectively. There is a lot of advancement in technology in the past few years leading to automation of work around us. Automation has its own merits and demerits, and this essay will discuss both aspects.

On the one hand, machines being an integral part of the business world, have numerous advantages. Firstly, they are very precise and can work for longer hours. Machines are not only accurate in performing tasks but also, they are significantly faster than humans. Second of all, they can work in dangerous environments. Machines can be subjected to extreme weather conditions and can be used in situations when human safety can be a concern. For example, robots used in the manufacturing of chemicals can increase productivity and they will also avoid injuries or death of human workers.

On the other hand, automation will lead to increased unemployment. For instance, human labour is no longer required in a few factories and manufacturing units. Automation’s effect on unemployment is one of society’s biggest concerns as technology develops in the future.Moreover, it requires installation and maintenance which can cost more than the convenient approach. The installation of these machines will require a lot of funds and not to mention the large amount and manpower required to maintain them.

To sum up, in spite of all the advantages, I feel it will be disappointing to consider replacing humans with machines as it affects society and is also costlier than the traditional approach.
