That being said, it is vital that employees keep their skills up to par with the evolving technology. If you do not know how to use the technology, then it is no good to you (Dukes). Technology can also help humans in the workplace in other ways. For example, surgeons are able to do microscopic procedures with the help of robots. These procedures exercise control and precision. Robotic surgery also is typically less invasive. This means that the patient will have a better recovery with less pain and smaller scars. Another benefit is that doctors have a better view with the help of the robot. The robot is capable of zooming in very clearly (The Mayo …show more content…
Research has shown that technology has allowed law enforcement to achieve more in a day 's time than before. The software available for law enforcement has improved incredibly over the years. Law enforcement currently has access to tools that can trace a face or fingerprint in seconds ("New Research Shows Impact Of Technology On Legal Field"). That face can then be sent through a scanner that could possibly tell you where a person is right that second through a GPS.

There are also apps that help people when they are in danger. An app called SafeTrek is an app made to help you feel safe while walking somewhere that makes you uncomfortable. The user holds down a button on the screen of their smart phone. If they let go of the button, your phone asks for a four digit passcode that was previously set up. If you type in that code, the app knows that you have made it home safe and sound. If the four digit code is not typed in, the police are contacted by SafeTrek and sent to where you are. Technology can also replace jobs in law
