Technology In Business Continued

However from a negative perspective, modern business and its communication rely almost too much on technology. For example, business transactions can be done through computers, but computers can crash. Since information is saved in digital servers and archives it is possible to lose  all of this data. There are methods to back up

computers, but still without tangible data it is possible to lose valuable information. 

Also, machinery replaces the skill and talent of workers. Artisans are rare due to technology and thus technology removes the artistic and handmade value of an item. Examples would include masons, glassblowers, and clothing fabric maker. All the products these professionals create are usually now produced by machines. Therefore, machines technically take jobs.

It seems as technology increases, human are less relied on, and computers are replacing the tasks of humans. However some could say the human abilities are more efficient. Humans have the ability to collaborate, and check data and valuable information. Computers simply run by processes, and can not think for themselves. Also, humans have the ability to become vary specialized, and their work can become an art that takes talent. Once again, a computer will simply run in loops and create the same product.
