1.1. To what extent do you agree that current trends within the automation (example, such
as that of the driverless cars, medical robots, and translation software) will have a positive
impact upon the society?
According to the author (Anderson et al., 2014), innovation is one of the key factors for
the improvement within society as a whole. On the other hand, it is the innovation that is making
the life of the individual consumers in society easy and comfortable. On the other hand, making
use of innovative technologies will not only help concerning individuals, but it also paves the
way of efficiency. On the other hand, it is the new technology and advancements that are being
introduced that helps in dealing with that of the various issues. Several issues are being faced by
the senior citizens of the society. These issues are sometimes very serious. However, because of
the innovative technology the senior citizens and that of the medical patients are being able to
carry out their desired activity irrespective of the various barriers in the path.
Technology has a major role in every aspect of our life. On the other hand, concepts like
that of the driverless car will help the professionals do not rely upon the drivers for the safety and
that for the travelling concerns. On the other hand, the use of the driverless car can be undertaken
to make sure that the number of accidents cases that are taken place will get reduced to a certain
point of limit. On the other perspective, these driverless cars can deal with that of the issue
regarding the kidnapping cases (Bessen et al., 2018), and that of the terrorism factors.
Besides, the driverless concepts can be achieved by making use of the travellers. The
traffic will be eliminated by making use of the digital-based services of IT technology. Since the
use of the IT technology is being undertaken, it will help in tracking each of the movement of the

concerning person that is in charge of the drive. Besides, it will help in dealing with the chaos
regarding traffic congestion; it is the traffic that creates huge barrier in the path of the journey.
On the other hand, concepts such as that of the digital robots. This roots that are of
nursing nature will help in dealing with the operational activity in a very efficient manner such
that activities like that of the operations, nursing can be obtained using the algorithm at a very
professional level. On the other hand, there is an immense requirement of the professional in the
activity of operational activities. The operational activity is required to be carried out using the
hands that can perform professionally without being shivering. The shivering is one of the key
factors for which much of the professional doctors irrespective of having high knowledge is not
able to perform adequately.
On the other side, by making use of the machine learning and that of the algorithms
machines like that of the robots can be designed and equipped with algorithms to perform certain
activities to obtain the desired level of the output. This robots, on the other hand, can be designed
in a manner that it will be able to carry out activities that are far beyond the reach of the human
individuals (Delsing et al., 2017). On the other perspective, this set of the robots can be equipped
with that of the special tools such that activities like that of the measurement of the heart-beats,
level of glucose within the blood, sonographic and much more can be carried out without any
requirement of the professional tools. Besides, activities like that of the criminal offence where
an individual hires the professional doctor using the bribery act can be dealt with.
On the other perspective, activities such as that of the translation software are another
effective tool for the ease of convenience. The use of the tools such as that of the translation
software can be undertaken to translate the language into some other language to understand the

communication that exists. On the other hand, it is the communication barrier that hugely
impacts the business scenarios and that of a professional barrier. We are surrounded by the
economy in which there exists various kinds of communications, society traits, and that of the
cultures. This set of communication tool helps in decoding the communication and
understanding the end objective of the communication.
On the other hand, it is the translation tools that help the other culture of the economy to
understand the various scenarios regarding the culture (Hancock et al., 2014). Besides, the use of
the tool, such as that of the speech recognition helps an individual to carry on its desired level of
activities without automatically. This automation is possible because of the innovation within the
technology.
On the other hand, automation programmes have helped to obtain the desired level of
output with the hassle free of the efforts. On the other contrary, much of the efforts regarding
carrying out a specific task is not required this time, which could have been required to carry out
a specific task can be used in any other activity. On the other contrary, this time could have been
saved and could have been used for productivity purpose.
Speaking in terms of the business activities, it is the automation process that reduces the
much of the risk regarding the over productive, or the shortage of the raw-materials in context to
the production of the desired output. On the other hand, the use of the automation process is to be
undertaken to achieve a profitable amount of output, the better quality of outputs, and qualitative
products (Manyika et al., 2017). This automation process, on the other perspective, reduces the
requirement of the manual labour workforce. This enables the firm to save a lot of costs, along
with that of a lot of time. On the other hand, the risk that is associated with that of the various

4SIGNIFICANCE OF TECHNOLOGY
business activities also gets eliminated. On the other hand, much of the safety precautions
regarding the safety of the employees also get eliminated. On the other hand, this time can be
undertaken for any other concerning activity.
On the other perspective, the automation process is being carried out by making use of
computer technology. This computer technology will help in the generation of data and
informations. This set of data and information’s can be used to undertake the future decisions of
the firm. On the other hand, the use of the automation will help in the generation of the report,
this report, when compared with that of the other reports, will help in obtaining a better
management decision regarding the future business of the organisations. On the other
perspective, the generation of the report will aid the top management to undertaken MBO
(Management by Objectives) (Lehto et al., 2015).
Speaking in terms of the marketing process, automation is being carried out by making
use of the AI platform. This AI platform helps in better understanding of the consumer purchase
behaviour such that it helps in obtaining a tailor-made advertisement according to the purchasing
activity of the potential consumers. Hence, this will help in the achievement of the effective
outcome for the marketing professional. The digital marketing platform is one of such platform
that operates on an automation process; this platform helps in the understanding of the consumer
preferences such that it will help in gaining a major proportion of the market share. On the other
perspective, this set of the robots can be equipped with that of the special tools such that
activities like that of the measurement of the heart-beats, level of glucose within the blood,
sonographic and much more can be carried out without any requirement of the professional tools.
Besides, activities like that of the criminal offence where an individual hires the professional
doctor using the bribery act can be dealt with.

2017), this driverless cars can deal with that of the issue regarding the kidnapping cases, and that
of the terrorism factors. Besides, the driverless concepts can be achieved by making use of the
travellers.
