A social impact of Automation is that many traditional jobs have been replaced by automated systems. Many people have lost their jobs and are suffering with debt from not finding a job because automated machines are faster than humans. Automated systems have changed the types of work people used to do. An example is before automated systems, a job that humans did was packaging by hand and now the human job is to watch and make sure nothing goes wrong during the packaging process as the automated system does it.
An economically impact of Automation is automated systems increase productivity, this means products will be made faster in less time. Therefore products can be sold for cheaper and have more products to sell. Also, automated systems reduces the amount of employees needed, which will be cheaper for the company.
An environmental impact of automation is that the assembly line in an automated system requires an increase in the amount of energy used by the automated system, which could be a negative effect to the environment. Car manufacturers have installed an automated pollution control system in every car, which decreases harmful emissions. Therefore, automated systems are a positive effect to the environment.
Pros Of Automation:
- More products made in less time - Less workers needed - Machines can repeat the same task without any mistakes - Can put automated systems where its unsafe to put humans (power plants, space, etc) - Cost less to operate than using humans - Can do some task that humans are unable to do
Cons Of Automation:
- Automated systems are expensive - Uses a large amount of energy for the machine - Aren't the best quality - Could break down or have errors - Not as many jobs needed for humans causing debt for many families
