Robotics in The Workplace

Robotics in The Workplace In the modern day, robots are involved in almost everything that we use today. It may not seem like it, but for the majority, the computer I am typing on, the chair you are sitting in, the car you drove here in were most likely made by robots in assembly lines.

Robotics in The Workplace The Down Sides? People will get lazy and worse case scenario, we might end up like a Wall-E world There will for sure be less jobs since robotics could practically do everything people could do The Up Sides? Life would be easier and less stress since there are not any jobs They could be used in dangerous situations like bomb squad instances where it could potentially save someone's life.

Social Media

Social Media – In the Workplace Social Media in the workplace is a problem that is growing by the day. As fun as social media may be, it is a huge distraction because of how addicting it is. You may say to yourself, “I’ll just scroll through twitter real quick,” but then you end up scrolling Twitter, answering your Snapchats, Checking your Facebook and so on. Next thing you know you have wasted away important minutes of your work day just because you wanted to “Check your Twitter.”

Social Media – In the Workplace The Down Sides? Work will not get done and if it does, it may take a lot longer then expected Whatever you post on social media may come back and bite you in the future. What goes on the internet stays on the internet. The Up Sides? You can connect with fellow employees and have a better relationship with them. You are more updated to what is happening in the world a that moment.

Small Gadgets Small gadget shave practically taken over people in general. Instead of reading a book, a five year old plays games on her ipad, instead of parents playing with their kids, they give their children gadgets so they can play on their gadgets. Small handheld devices have turned a social world into a non-social world especially with the production of “social” media.

Why I Chose This? Technology is surrounding us more and more everyday whether it is visible or not. Also, could you imagine a life without relying on technology? This needs to change especially with the possibility of all of this getting shut down by a cyber attack.

Solutions Cut back on the mass production of robots Bring people back to the real world instead of the virtual one by limiting the production and abilities of small devices so that we can survive on our own again Start to show the bad effects of social media everywhere so people are more educated on how bad it actually is for you.
