Jobs◦ Low-tech

◦ Repetitive, etc.

Are replaced by◦ Robots

◦ Computers, etc.

Page 10: Disruptive Technologies: More Computers, Less Jobs?

Jobs are created in high-technology sector◦ Programmers

◦ System Analyst

◦ IT Consultant

◦ Computer Engineers , etc.

Page 11: Disruptive Technologies: More Computers, Less Jobs?

Lower technical jobs

Job nature◦ Repetitive

◦ Replaceable by automated technology

◦ Do not need a lot of job experience

Page 12: Disruptive Technologies: More Computers, Less Jobs?

Some of them will change to ◦ Monitoring robots

◦ Quality checking

Page 13: Disruptive Technologies: More Computers, Less Jobs?

Hard to change from the advancing in technology

Characteristics of the workers◦ Selling or

◦ Exchanging the experience to/from their service buyer

Jobs can be divided into 2 big kinds: the ones with higher skills and higher income ,the other ones with lower skills and income.

Technology would reduce the number of low-skilled jobs available in the market.

More computerized methods in different jobs, more people would be sacked as their jobs can simply be replaced by computers.

Page 35: Disruptive Technologies: More Computers, Less Jobs?

The workers without specific skills cannot find jobs.

The productivity of the country decreases.

The economy of the country decreases.

Companies will close if they cannot make profit.

More people are unemployed.

Page 36: Disruptive Technologies: More Computers, Less Jobs?

Technology pushes the transformation of the economical structure of a place.

This can create a lot of jobs in the market.

Page 37: Disruptive Technologies: More Computers, Less Jobs?

More machines in the workplace, safer and more qualified products.

Increase the foreign investment

Encourage the currency flow

Have positive impact on the economy of a place

More jobs are created

Page 38: Disruptive Technologies: More Computers, Less Jobs?

Technology can bring us new jobs

For example, Iphone Apps

More new jobs, less people are unemployed

Economy of a place is better

More jobs are available in the market

Page 39: Disruptive Technologies: More Computers, Less Jobs?

Technologies can take away some jobs at the beginning, but only limited to the lower-skill ones

The effect of the decrease in number of jobs only lasts for a certain period of time

A transformation of economical structure then takes place

New jobs follows the better economy
