Introduction

With the increasing demand for more goods and services across the globe and the competitions among different countries to sustain economic growth are becoming more ambitious, the pattern of jobs over the decade have changed since its beginning and one of the major noticeable change is the implementation of technology alongside human labor. Integration of machines in production lines and, use of computers and robots in various other jobs has helped in increasing the production rate of goods and services and also helped the country
But the implementation of technology into jobs has grown drastically since the beginning. Technology has managed to replace various jobs of people and have rendered them obsolete. Jobs such as sowing, publishing companies etc. which once used to have a intensive human labor have been completely replaced by machinery. Will this trend continue to a point where technology takes over human labor in some jobs if not all? Or Will human labor be considered non replaceable? These thoughts have led me to my topic
"Will technology replace human labor in the unpredictable future?" I have chosen 'The employment standards branch' as my audience and throughout this persuasive essay, I will be trying to persuade them on whether or not technology can deplete jobs. I would also discuss the fact that does it pose a threat to the environment and the safety of human beings. Throughout the essay I would discuss a series of arguments and counter arguments that are possible to arise with this topic

Technology is Cost-effective + time
The limitations could have various reasons but most importantly to handle dangerous materials and to take care of hazardous processes. An example of this could be the use of robots in manufacturing cars. It would be dangerous for humans to carry out the coating process since the chemicals contained in the coating spray is poisonous to breathe in. Also robots can withstand high temperatures which is unsafe for humans to work in. An important aspect of any manufacturing process is the testing stage and using machines are sometimes the only way to complete a testing stage in some industries. Considering the car manufacturing industry, crash testing the cars is extremely dangerous for humans to perform. As it is important to ensure the safety of consumers, crash testing is a vital process and crash test dummies are used to achieve this. With improvements in technology, crash test dummies are evolving to nearly replicate human movements, recognize pain (using numerous sensors) and so on.
