Read the discussion and write your response
Prof. Itoprofessor
Automation is replacing some routine jobs. Is automation ultimately good or bad for workers? Take a position and explain it.
Gracestudent
Automation is good in the long run. It removes dull, dangerous tasks and creates demand for new skills, raising the overall quality of work.

The transition harms many workers, though. People who lose routine jobs cannot always retrain quickly, and the new jobs often appear in different places.
