Do you think the advantages of robots or computers outweigh the disadvantages. One of the impacts of advanced technology is that computers or robots can now perform many tasks that used to be done by the human. Although this development eliminates many jobs, computers or robots can benefit the economic growth and productivity. There are many advantages of machines. Firstly, machines can produce precise, fast, and reliable results. In term of the banking system, machine such as ATM for cash withdrawal and cheque deposit can handle tons of transactions and calculations in an effective way. It is convenient, easily accessible, and it can prevent long queue at the counter. Secondly, machines are cost-effective because machines can replace a huge number of workers. Although this is bad for the society because it creates more unemployment, this can benefit those start-up or large manufacturing companies. Lastly, machines can be used as data storage. Taking clinics and hospitals as examples. Decades ago, when computers were not yet matured, patient's records were always written on papers and these papers were kept in the racks. Imagine if there were one million of patients visited yearly, huge space was needed in order to store all the paper documentation. With the usage of computers, patient's records can be stored in the database or so called hard-disk drive or solid-state drive. In conclusion, although sometimes machines do need high-cost maintenance, it is cost-effective in the long term. Therefore, the advantages definitely overweigh the disadvantages.
