Question 1

What jobs have been eliminated due to technology? What new jobs have been created

because of technology?

Many employments have been lost or abolished as a result of technology in the past century, the

age of machines, robots, and computers, for example:

a. Telephone switchboard operators: Person responsible for connecting calls by placing two

phone plugs into the jacks, but currently uses an entirely automated system for this

purpose

b. A clerk on Typewriter: Many office employees now type their papers on their PCs

instead of using a typewriter machine.

c. Projectionist: Operator of a movie projector, therefore he or she runs the projector in

performance, however, digital projectors have replaced the analog projectors.

New jobs have been created as technology has grown and evolved over the last century. New

employment has been created in the medical, computer, and technology fields as a result of

advancements in these fields, such as at the hospital where the IT department I have a clear

picture of its systems (Network Engineer, Infrastructure Manager, Health Informatics Specialist,

Process Automation Manager)

Question 2

What jobs once considered high-skill jobs are now low-skill due to technology? Give

examples.

Some of the jobs that were once considered high-skill but are now low-skill due to technology

include bank tellers, airline-check in agents, and accountants. In the past, bank tellers were
responsible for cashing checks, depositing money, processing loan payments, and withdrawing

money from client accounts. With the help of bank tellers, consumers may also establish or close

accounts. Compliance with laws and regulations regulating the identification of clients, accounts,

and transactions to which they have access or initiate as well as available cash was a requirement

of the position. These operations have been simplified and digitized so that technology can

manage them with fewer mistakes and in a shorter period.

Question 3

Would you want to telecommute? Why or why not?

Yes. I would want to telecommute. Because telecommuting provides individuals with more

work-life balance and job satisfaction, decreases absenteeism rates and maintenance tasks, saves

money, and makes it easier for employers to attract new employees, telecommuting has become

increasingly popular in the workplace. It also serves as a sign of confidence in one's job. A large

portion of a company's operating budget goes to paying for office space and keeping it in good

condition. Reducing travel time and gaining additional sleep. It is common for remote workers to

look for ways to save money and time by working from home. As a result, a remote employee is

more likely to have more control over his or her schedule and daily routine.

Question 4

How has technology made entrepreneurship easier? Harder?

Technology has made entrepreneurship much easier than in the past. Entrepreneurs have been

freed from time-consuming tasks because of technology, allowing them to devote more time to

building their businesses. The ownership and operation of a company is now more accessible

than it has ever been because of advancements in technological security, lower marketing costs,

and more user-friendly software. Entrepreneurs no longer have to be tied to their desks because
of cellphones and cloud technologies. Additionally, with today's advanced technology, workers

are free to concentrate on the company's objectives rather than being weighed down by menial

activities.

Question 5

What is ECPA?

It is Electronic Communications Privacy Act in full. It is protected under the ECPA as modified

while communications are being created, transmitted, and kept on computers under the law.

Email, phone calls, and data saved electronically are all covered by the Act.

Question 6

What is NLRB?

It is National Labor Relations Board in full. Unfair labor practices and collective bargaining are

the focus of the National Labor Relations Board, an independent federal organization tasked with

enforcing U.S. labor law.

Question 7

How much privacy is reasonable for an employee to expect in the workplace?

Employers may read emails sent or received by employees on their email accounts if the

employee uses the mobile device or company's computer system to do so, but it does not imply

the business can utilize cameras to monitor employees' private restroom activities. As a result,

employers should refrain from prying into the private lives of their workers. An employer, on the

other hand, ought to make clear to workers what they may anticipate in terms of privacy.

Question 8

Under what circumstances is it appropriate for an employer to read an employee’s e-mail?

Checking for compliance with rules for communications, and detecting behavior that threatens

the employer in some way, such as responding to a colleague's harassment complaint,

investigating data leaks, criminal activities, or offensive or pornographic messages, checking if

employee use of employer facilities for personal use, or finding needed business information if

an employee is an authorized employee.
