Both positive and negative influence of technology on work The most obvious advantage that technology has brought is that it makes our work more efficient and effective. With those cutting-edge innovations, people are empowered to fulfill their tasks wherever they like. A good case in this point is that Telecommuting radically changes the traditional way employees work and allows them to work in a more flexible schedule. Not only the enormous time cost technological revolution has saved in work, but it also cut down a considerable overhead cost. It is quite common that these days, administrative officers are not restricted to workplaces any more due to the great convenience of video conferencing. It is predictable that in the near future, there will be more technological breakthrough that can improve job satisfaction. Despite a multitude of undeniable merits, the negative impacts the technology has on work is still noteworthy. As the Internet spreads worldwide, cybercrimes, a new type of crime in the 21th century are becoming rampant. Suffering from privacy leakage, millions of netizens have fallen prey to online hacking. Not only this, the tendency for the public to become more dependent on technology also triggers concerns. Since everyone can google what they want to know online, fewer and fewer people are willing to think and solve problems on their own. It seems that technology deprive human beings of creativity and initiative, making them less creative than ever before.
