Professional development

Professional development
My reflection on the development of technology in general. Technological advances over the years have made things “easier” in many ways. In manufacturing the technology has moved from individual/ hand made products, to mass produced machine created products, thus taking jobs away from people. In the beginning the technology made our jobs easier, thus allowing for more free time, and the fact that people didn’t have to work as hard, or for as many hours. But seemingly with increased technology, it means that people have lost jobs because of the “new” technology, Therefore we must create more jobs with the new technology. Is it a good thing or bad? Can we all learn the new technology, and if we all learn the new technology, will there be anyone out there that can do some of the projects/jobs that we have forgotten how to do?
