Use of technology does not lead to loss of employment (in favour)

Technology is like a two sided blade. It has both benefits and losses but it is upon the individual on how he/she uses it. Today, I will speak in favour of the motion that use of technology does not lead to loss of employment.

In the recent decade, technology has made possible those things which were just an imagination few years back. Today anything that we think of is already available online. In terms of employment, there has been a boom in the number of jobs with the implementation of a digital platform. The work performed after the technological changes took place has become easier, more effective and better quality. The output from the use of latest machines and tools has increased while the time consumed for its production has decreased. It requires one time investment to implement these changes and it makes work easier for a long time. With the technological advancements, there are more opportunities for self employment. One of the major technological changes was the online business which has become so widespread that everything from clothes to groceries to cabs available at a finger click. Just as it has made our lives easier, these services have generated a number of employments for semi-skilled people. These jobs include delivery services and cab drivers. It also provides great opportunities to resellers. At the same time, demand for skilled workers also went up as they were required to setup and manage these online businesses.

As a whole, use of technology has led to many benefits in terms of employment leading to better productivity and more labour requirements. Smart users of technology have derived many benefits from it.

Technology is like a two sided blade. It has both benefits and losses but it is upon the individual on how he/she uses it. Today, I will speak against the motion that use of technology does not lead to loss of employment.

With the advancement of technology, many semi-skilled labourers have lost their jobs because they were replaced by machines who gave better productivity by investing just once. Today technology has reached to a level where even robots can be developed with the help of artificial intelligence. These robots are capable of working side by side with humans and performing simple household tasks as well. The machines are capable of producing better outcome and less time consuming. In today’s competitive and fast moving world it is almost impossible to resist change and stick to manual labour despite all technological implementations. Machines are easier to handle as compared to human because once instructed they perform the task as it is.

Technology has its own benefits but it is at the cost of other’s benefit which is a major drawback. The ones who have upgraded themselves with the changing environment are the ones who have to face difficulty in this technological world.

Importance of Cleanliness in Life

A very good morning to one and all present here. Today I John will recite a speech on the importance of cleanliness in life. We have all heard about the importance of cleanliness but how many of us actually bother to keep our surroundings clean?

Cleanliness is very essential for the proper development of both mind and body. A student can study in calm and happy way if everything around is neat and tidy. An unhygienic environment has many effects on a person’s health and mind. It causes restlessness and frustration. It is also a source for many diseases to spread and unhygienic places give rise to many disease-spreading mosquitoes. Food is also contaminated if kept in unclean places. In India, it is a general human tendency to litter any place with garbage. This is done mostly out of laziness of moving a few steps more to look for a dustbin. Even if garbage is thrown at proper places, the municipal corporation’s careless attitude leads to the cluttering of the place due to overflowing dustbins. Sometimes this condition is faced due to lack of proper guidance from the authorities or due to understaffed cleaning departments. It has become very important to pay attention to this matter and find solutions to it. To support this we have to start by keeping our own place clean. Also proper garbage disposal can be taught in schools. Schools can teach students to segregate the degradable and non-degradable waste and conduct cleanliness drives.

Cleanliness has many benefits in one’s life. It helps in keeping the body and mind balanced by creating a healthy environment. When a person is mentally satisfied, he/she is bound to perform better in all spheres of life. Most importantly, it gives a calm environment to the students who are the future of our country and helps them in focusing better. Thank you for being such a patient audience.
