I agree with the idea that science and technology bring a lot of benefits to people. Firstly, people have started to live longer and their health is remarkable. With new technology, medical research is being done everyday to help find cures or vaccines for devastating diseases such as Cancer, AIDS,... Secondly, it helped advance people' knowledge and provide a higher quality of life. For example, students are able to use technology to help them better understand scientific concepts. Technology gives access to items such as maps, videos and simulated labs that appeal to students who learn best from methods other than conventional lectures. For more, life has become easy and stable. Finally, travelling and communication has become easier, cheaper and fast in minutes.

In short, science and technology bring a lot of benefits to people.

Hal Varian, chief economist at Google, has a simple way to predict the future. The future is simply what rich people have today. The rich have chauffeurs. In the future, we will have driverless cars that chauffeur us all around. The rich have private bankers. In the future, we will all have robo-bankers.

One thing that we imagine that the rich have today are lives of leisure. So will our future be one in which we too have lives of leisure, and the machines are taking the sweat? We will be able to spend our time on more important things than simply feeding and housing ourselves?

Let’s turn to another chief economist. Andy Haldane is chief economist at the Bank of England. In November 2015, he predicted that 15 million jobs in the UK, roughly half of all jobs, were under threat from automation. You’d hope he knew what he was talking about.

And he’s not the only one making dire predictions. Politicians. Bankers. Industrialists. They’re all saying a similar thing.

“We need urgently to face the challenge of automation, robotics that could make so much of contemporary work redundant”, Jeremy Corbyn at the Labour Party Conference in September 2017.

“World Bank data has predicted that the proportion of jobs threatened by automation in India is 69 percent, 77 percent in China and as high as 85 percent in Ethiopia”, according to World Bank president Jim Yong Kim in 2016.

It really does sound like we might be facing the end of work as we know it.

Many of these fears can be traced back to a 2013 study from the University of Oxford. This made a much quoted prediction that 47% of jobs in the US were under threat of automation in the next two decades. Other more recent and detailed studies have made similar dramatic predictions.

Now, there’s a lot to criticize in the Oxford study. From a technical perspective, some of report’s predictions are clearly wrong. The report gives a 94% probability that bicycle repair person will be automated in the next two decades. And, as someone trying to build that future, I can reassure any bicycle repair person that there is zero chance that we will automate even small parts of your job anytime soon. The truth of the matter is no one has any real idea of the number of jobs at risk.

Even if we have as many as 47% of jobs automated, this won’t translate into 47% unemployment. One reason is that we might just work a shorter week. That was the case in the Industrial Revolution. Before the Industrial Revolution, many worked 60 hours per week. After the Industrial Revolution, work reduced to around 40 hours per week. The same could happen with the unfolding AI Revolution.

Another reason that 47% automation won’t translate into 47% unemployment is that all technologies create new jobs as well as destroy them. That’s been the case in the past, and we have no reason to suppose that it won’t be the case in the future. There is, however, no fundamental law of economics that requires the same number of jobs to be created as destroyed. In the past, more jobs were created than destroyed but it doesn’t have to be so in the future.

In the Industrial Revolution, machines took over many of the physical tasks we used to do. But we humans were still left with all the cognitive tasks. This time, as machines start to take on many of the cognitive tasks too, there’s the worrying question: what is left for us humans?

Some of my colleagues suggest there will be plenty of new jobs like robot repair person. I am entirely unconvinced by such claims. The thousands of people who used to paint and weld in most of our car factories got replaced by only a couple of robot repair people.

No, the new jobs will have to be doing jobs where either humans excel or where we choose not to have machines. But here’s the contradiction. In fifty to hundred years time, machines will be super-human. So it’s hard to imagine of any job where humans will remain better than the machines. This means the only jobs left will be those where we prefer humans to do them.

The AI Revolution then will be about rediscovering the things that make us human. Technically, machines will have become amazing artists. They will be able to write music to rival Bach, and paintings to match Picasso. But we’ll still prefer works produced by human artists.

These works will speak to the human experience. We will appreciate a human artist who speaks about love because we have this in common. No machine will truly experience love like we do.

As well as the artistic, there will be a re-appreciation of the artisan. Indeed, we see the beginnings of this already in hipster culture. We will appreciate more and more those things made by the human hand. Mass-produced goods made by machine will become cheap. But items made by hand will be rare and increasingly valuable.

Finally as social animals, we will also increasingly appreciate and value social interactions with other humans. So the most important human traits will be our social and emotional intelligence, as well as our artistic and artisan skills. The irony is that our technological future will not be about technology but all about our humanity.

… we have a small favour to ask. More people around the world are reading The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism than ever before. We’ve now been funded by over one million readers. And unlike many news organisations, we have chosen an approach that allows us to keep our journalism open to all. We believe that each one of us deserves access to accurate information with integrity at its heart.

The Guardian is editorially independent, meaning we set our own agenda. Our journalism is free from commercial bias and not influenced by billionaire owners, politicians or shareholders. No one edits our editor. No one steers our opinion. This is important as it enables us to give a voice to those less heard, challenge the powerful and hold them to account. It’s what makes us different to so many others in the media, at a time when factual, honest reporting is critical.

Every contribution we receive from readers like you, big or small, goes directly into funding our journalism. This support enables us to keep working as we do – but we must maintain and build on it for every year to come. Support The Guardian

2.In modern world, technology has played an active role in people physical lives; on the other hand, it can not touch our spiritual lives while art can. One of several reasons related to this is that art help us express our soul. Actually science is a combinations of tools, methods and machines which solve our physical problems. Meanwhile art such as colorful drawings, paintings, rock songs, romantic movies gives painters, film writers a ability to express their ideas and feelings. That is why art probably touch our soul. Other reason is a benefit of enjoying artworks to who enjoy art. It for instance listening to music and watching movie helps listeners and viewers feel relax after a hard-working day fulled of stress. While, techonology can not cause it can only solve our particular troubles, save time and cost, not a spiritual troubles. In short, both science and art play a significant role in human life, people are not able to live without one of those.

i disagree with the idea that with the help of technology , students will benefit greatly from studying by themselves at home. Technology will also have some negative effects. Firstly, they will be very expensive and we will spend too much money buying and fixing them. Secondly , technology will be solve all problem so students will be lazy and inactive. Thirdly, technology equipment such as computer,interactive sign will be make students myopic. In short, technology have many benefits but they may not improve the quality of our

        The world is currently very developed, which means that technology is very evolving. And technology brings a lot of benefits, I of course agree. Because it's so useful. Technology makes it easy to communicate with friends, family and work remotely, even when you're in another part of the world. You can communicate verbally, video, audio and exchange other media. All websites, applications and software have been created to help users socialize. Social media, texting, texting, laptops, tablets, and cell phones mean no one needs to feel isolated in the digital world. Users can be regularly updated with news about local events and social developments. We can also learn through technology. Anyone with access to the internet today can access a huge amount of the world's knowledge through the web. Alternatively, lessons and courses can now be offered virtually online. Online social media or playing computer and mobile games is becoming more and more popular. Traditional media also developed, as television and broadcasting were digitized along with radio. It has many benefits, but it also has harmful effects. Nowadays, there are a lot of young people who are interacting too much with internet devices, and can easily watch bad programs, programs that are not good for them. However, Technology is also a lot of benefits, is an important part of our life

Technology is a complex set of processes that includes a skill, method, tool, know-how or means to convert a resource into a product. It is a systematic, creative activity with the main purpose of developing knowledge related to man, nature and society.

In the future, technology can bring us many benefits. Do you think so? And of course, everything in the world also has benefits and harms. But in my opinion, it has a very important effect on human life and nature.

The advent of science and technology, along with advanced scientific inventions, completely changed the face of human life. Smartphones, computers, air conditioners, robots, card payments, mobile phones, cars, self-driving aircraft, ... are advanced and intelligent inventions of mankind. Marking a new era of development in human history. The advent of advanced technological and scientific equipment has boosted the economic and social development. These devices help people to solve jobs quickly and effectively without having to spend too much labor. It is these inventions that have marked people entering a new period of development. Advanced technology equipment, gradually replacing working people, no sellers, unmanned, housework with robots, turning on and off automatic light bulbs, ...

Besides the positives that technology brings, we cannot deny. But besides the positives, there are always negative sides. Technology makes you more lazy, sometimes makes you selfish and insane. You do not want to do housework, you use robot to work for you, while you sit and listen to music, watch movies. You become selfish and crazy when your computer, mobile phone, internet is slow and cannot load. That makes you angry and unjustifiably mad at the phone, the computer. Technology makes you lose your sense of sleep, destroying your biological clock. Because people always have a habit of using the phone before going to bed, or watching movies before going to bed. It is that habit that takes away your sleep, the late sleep habit will destroy your circadian clock. Not only sleep, your health is also severely affected, high risk of cancer, obesity, depression, psychological instability and memory loss. Technology - the risk of unemployment, underemployment. No need for houseworkers, no need to hire a driver, fly a plane, no need for salesmen, or collect money. All seem to be replaced by technology, which affects the lives of many people, unemployment, no job means no money to cover their lives.

Through this we can see that the technological development has brought about a whole new change to people. But it also brings people many undesirable consequences affecting people's health, life, and spirit. Therefore, we must know how to use technology properly, so as not to affect your health, as well as your spirit, your life.

Do you think the same as me? It is these negative effects that the previous benefits gradually disappear. Then one day, our country will perish by this harm.

Technology helps us live better, but sometimes it has the effect of it being a motorbike, a car that emits a lot of harmful dust or a factory that releases harmful gases to people, sometimes It's too bad to rely on too many machines, as if computers rely on it too much, it's not good but science is very beneficial because it benefits people because it helps people know about things they don't know, but sometimes it has some harm to people(Xin lỗi có vài chữ ms phải lên goole dịch đề dịch ,xin lỗi)
