TECHNOLOGY: BOON OR A BANE..??

​In this present era technology has gained vital importance in the life of humans. But we have ever thought that technology is really a blessing or a cause of great distress. Technology eases the work and makes work less time-consuming. But the biggest question arising today is are we correctly using technology as we have to…..? 

​There are two sides to every coin. One is positive, and the other hand have some demerits too. Here are a few advantages and disadvantages of technology.

​ADVANTAGES:
1. Encourages innovation:  workers can use different techniques to improve the standard of work and to make new innovations to excel in business.

2. Better human resource management: on workplace technology plays a significant role in replacing the human resource. No doubt technology has brought a drastic dropdown in the rate of employment.

3. Time saver: tech is the biggest time saver in the world of business. It is highly impossible for humans to compete with the pace of technology. This eases the work of the workers and also helps them to avoid human errors.

4. Mobility in business: use of the internet and computers in the present time has made the working system mobile. Workers have the liberty to work anywhere and at any time. We even don’t have to b present in the meeting and the data will b shared in no time.

DISADVANTAGES:
1. Risky: though technology is highly advanced we cannot ignore the risk factors in it. Technology can break down at any time and can cause great hindrance at the workplace. The confidential data may be leaked to some technical errors. So, the risk factor cannot be ignored.

2. Low employment: as technology replaces the human resources it results in inflation of unemployment which is a sign of danger for society.

3. The high cost of maintenance: it is expensive to buy technology. Some organisations may want to have advanced technology but cannot afford to have it. If in case any organisation tends to have technological development it has to have good financial status.
​
4. Distraction at the workplace: technology has always been a significant obstacle at the workplace as it distracts the employees from work.
