"Modern technology is now very common in most work places.
How do you think this has changed the way we work?
Do you think there are disadvantages to relying too much on technology?"
People get more and more used to using technology in their work places nowadays. It appears to be a good way of letting things work automatically. We can complete tasks we could not do in the past because of a lack of time. However, in some cases we do rely too much on our smart machines. In this essay I will explain why.
On one side, working with modern technology gives us the freedom to do more different things in our bosses time. In the past, lots of people spent their whole day with making appointments, calculating the financial numbers or writing things out on paper. Nowadays we have smart computer programs to assist you with these matters, so you will have more time to cope with more important stuff.
On the other hand, we should not always trust our technology. It is created by humans, and unfortunately they make mistakes. It is not so bad if your navigation system does not point out the best route to reach your destination. However, when a financial employee forgets to insert a certain number or dot in his excel sheet, the computer program will calculate it right, but with the wrong numbers. This happened in 2009 in Germany; a worker of the financial department inserted a zero too much in a program, which affected the whole company. It took them three months before they figured out there was something wrong.
On balance, we should be thankful we have technology to assist us. It gives us lots of time extra to spend on other useful businesses. However we should also be alert on what we trust. We have to bear in mind that everything a computer tells us depends on what another human being has put into it.

Hello Heleen,
Nice essay with a few small corrections. Correct layout and fully comprehensible.
What happens to all this tech when there is a power failure? I can remember 30 years ago when our building was hit by a power failure in the morning as we had to produce some time sensitive information. The younger people were completely lost. The older ones were able to continue working in the old way to ensure that all the information was produced on time!
Best wishes
