In recent years, People have become accustomed to using technology in their work places. It appears to be a good way of letting things work automatically  efficiently. 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. 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 timeduring commited hours. In the past, many people spent their whole day making appointments, calculating their finances or writing things out on paper. Nowadays, we have smart computer programs can assist with these matters, so you will have allowing people 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 can make mistakes hence, it should not be entirely trusted. however, it may be used in some tasks. For example, It is not so bad if your using the navigation system does may not point out the best route to reach your a 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 extra zeros in a program, which affected the whole company. It took them three months before they figured out there was something wrong.

On balance in conclusion, we should be thankful we have it is great to have technology to assist us people because It gives us lots of time it allows extra time to spend on other useful businesses affairs. However,  we should also be alert on what we trust. Considering the extent in which people can trust technology, We have to bear in mind that everything  a computer tells us output depends on the input of humans.
