Are Humans Obsolete? Technology has affected our world in a dramatic way. It has made our lives easier and much more entertaining. The technology of today was considered science fiction twenty years ago, which is remarkable. I believe technology is making the world a better place by taking jobs that are not well suited for humans, improving the efficiency of working, and freeing people up to do jobs better suited for them.

That is a possibility, but only if people let it be one. Technology can also help, and potentially make society better like it has done in the past. I believe that technology, like it has done in the past, will take away the work that is not well suited for humans, improve efficacy even more, and free people up to do bigger and better things. Society just need to make the required changes to allow technology to improve our
