Modern Technology & Employement (PART-III)

Employment under the magic touch of Technology:

Sky is the limit as far as the use of technology is concerned in the collection and dispersal of information; research and development in space exploration and remote sensing operations; spread of telecommunications network; innovations and fresh initiatives in management and advertisement; to name only a few fields where revolutionary changes are taking place every moment. But recently after recession craze for government jobs was a compulsive option for most of the job seekers and corporate employees. Even then the mania has not reduced yet for independent enterprises as we see overall. The same mania drove the best brains to the higher echelons of administrative services. But now the outlines of the horizons of the employment have changed drastically and dramatically.

Technology Advancements-A rootcause of Independent Enterpises:

As things stand today, the employment opportunities may shrink for those who are ‘rolling stones’ but vastly expand for those who keep pace with the turns and twists of technology in the day-to-day human quest, aspirations and achievements. Even in the creative corridors, machines may move in to give a concrete shape to human intuition and imagination. The way technology is entering into our lives, finding employment with the ordinary or general degrees would not be child’s play. Expertise in new areas of exploration and exploitation, where problems and possibilities are likely to co-exist, the chance of cornering a job or starting an independent enterprise would go up manifold.

A change in attitude towards both work and life style and the increasing use of modern gadgets like the computer, fax, copier and even mobile phones, would enable enterprising professionals to start an independent set-up in comfortable home surroundings also. Under the increasing influence of technology, the educated wife also become more compatible and co-operative to her husband whose business operations are being done from residential premises. It goes without saying: “Today everyone wants a computer. If the executive in the West is already a walking office, in “India, office gadgets are gearing up for going home. Obsolescence, caused by technological advancements, means products are becoming sleeker, more sophisticated and compact by the day.”

The Jack of all Trades but Masters of None:

With old ideologies buried deep into the vaults of history, and the new thrust of liberalization and free-market economy becoming a ‘fait accompli’ the contours of employment arenas are also becoming highly competitive, contractual, and global on content and context. Under the towering tutelage of technology, patterns of employment are getting more and more daunting and rewarding. If, in the years gone by, the expanding public sector was the biggest source of employment in countries like India, in the years to come, it will be the private or corporate sector that is going to play the pivotal role. Patterns of employment, in the fast changing scenario at home and abroad, would not remain static but would be moulded by the demands of market forces under the over-all umbrella of technology. In the new emerging landscape, the need for those holding degrees or diplomas in liberal education, or those claiming to be ‘the jack of all trades but masters of none’, may not find the going as lucrative us the demand for those who are specialists.
