Debate: Technology will eliminate the need for human employees, and the unemployment rate will increase.

Technology is an easier and faster way to get a job done. It is obvious that technology increases the profitability of companies throughout the world. So why would I hire a human rather than purchasing the technology when the costs of them are the same?

Discuss the situation where you are going to choose one of them with equal conditions (conditions means the costs and several types of expenses).

Topics: society technology

    Nov 22 2012: everything said in the previous incarnations of that conversation went down the toilet. the same people making the same remarks almost word by word. what is the benefit of all this?

        Nov 22 2012: it is not true, i always try to vary my replies to the same question/statement. partly to increase understanding, partly for my own amusement. i enjoy approaching a problem from different directions.

        when i run out of directions because my opponents repeated the same thing one too many times, i start to lament.
