Drawbacks of new technologies

...

7: And last but not least, just use your common sense. If an email offer looks too good to be true, the prices on a website are abnormally low or you receive an unsolicited telephone call offering computer support, it's probably a scam.

- Dangers of new technologies at work

Thanks to all the discoveries in new tech sector, it won’t be long before human would be more than connected to their devices. We studied the case in Sweden where microchip were integrated under people’s skin.

Let’s make a list of pros and cons:

- Pros:

- improve productivity

- No more need for hundred devices: key fobs or electronic entry cards

- safety, for exemple when a driver fall asleep it can provides a warning (they use to use wearable device, now they don’t need to anymore)

- Tracks employee health: it can warn from a disease.

2) Cons:

- no more privacy for employee, if the device can access to every information inside their body then the boss is able to know everything he wants.

- Risk from being hacked, because it is a high tech device and because every high tech device can be hacked.

- Can be use for wrong reason for exemple a surveillance tool

- Can be very oppressive and so damages staff morale because they feel observed.

- Need a certain harmony, more people accept it and more efficient it will be. If some people do not accept it then we won’t be able to see how this technology works. Feel compulsory to have one.

This type of technology is a very violent entry into staff’s private life.

CONCLUSION

We cannot say that new technology offer only drawbacks, however there are some risks that we have to be aware of before it takes to many amplitude. Also new technology is so involved into people’s life it looks like nobody can live without. For exemple, in young generation, it causes deconcentration problems.
