ONLY USE ATTACHED MATERIAL FOR ASSIGNMENT!! NO OUTSIDE SOURCES!!

According to Volti, Chapter 5:

What matters for gaining a deeper understanding of technology’s significance is the willingness and ability to understand how specific technologies came into being; who promoted them; who resisted them; and how they affected the distribution of wealth, status, and power.

Considering what we've read, and incorporating facts, concepts, and trends from our learning material, please respond to the following questions:

1. 
   
   There is certainly a lotof anxiety in our society about humans being replaced by technological innovations (e.g., robots, machines) and losing jobs. While this concern has some merit, Voltiasks us to consider making a clearer distinction betweenworkandjobswhen looking at the link between technology and employment. Explain what Voltimeans by this. How does looking at work, instead of simply looking at jobs, reframethe negative view of technology's impact on employment? What do you think of this way ofreframingthe concern?
   
   
   


2. 
   
   Try to summarize the concerns of "Marxist oriented scholars" regarding the process and consequences of 'deskilling'employees that results from bringing new industrial technologies to the manufacturing sector? What is 'deskilling?' How does this affect the experience of work? In what ways does this affect the relations between employees and managers?
   
   
   


3. 
   
   In what ways does technology impact your job? In what ways does technology impact your work? (Try to keep that distinction here between job and work....as per question #1)
