QUESTIONS FOR PART 3 Do you think people’s work in the future will be heavily affected by technology?
The
prospect that all work will be
automated or computer-based is quite
feasible . Given the situation today that teaching can be done online via
video tutorials or skype, the students would no longer feel the need to
travel hundreds of miles to the classroom. Another case is

people just need to hand in their work via emails or even join meetings through
teleconferencing . Another likelihood is that robots will
take the place of human workforce in
manual labor in the not-so-distant future.

and convenient. Dishwashers save people plenty of time after daily meals
while washing machines reduces the amount of laundry people have to carry
out.
