Computers and Automation Increase Unemployment

Computers are commonly becoming the the important objects where human society are really depend on it. It has been one of the technological advancements where happens to our civilization. Of course, it will come into a lot of argumentations in which have its pros and cons. One of the things that is still being argued is about the computers and automation impact to the unemployment, which is very increasing in recent years.

Responding on the topic, this might also invite many public intentions into debate. Some people are agreed on stating the issue while others are somewhat opposite on it. According to the statement, people usually tend to see the whole situations that is happen until recently.

Most advanced companies are require industrial automation (which is not except computers as well). Mostly, those companies are saying agreed on it which improve the efficiency of resources, materials, and last but not least, time management. On the other hand, people might say no where the highly skilled, but still poor workers are not suitable to place themselves in good position to the factory. As a result, they might lose their occupation and would put into public demonstration.

Despite the fact that is causing the unemploymet, the others have also expressed the rejection that computers increase that such thing, which is more efficient as well as helpful for the employees inside. The truth is that people (employees in this context) are always engaged with the whole automations and they control all of the robotic stuffs to design the product (in which can be found through assembly line inside the factory of company), so that the production is quicker and faster as it takes. Besides, to solve the problem of unemployment rate, most advanced factories have raised their fund in order to increase the whole facilities with variety of divisions where the employees can be placed in that part of it. So if there was fund that is provided, the factory would reise it. Not only for the dacilities (include computers, automation and others), but also for human resource.

In spite of the availability of fund, it takes into the cost that have to be spent. It means the company has to require huge income to facilitate it, which will be benefit and protect te consumer. in fact, the outer hindering factors include the situation of economic turmoil that recently happens right now. The global economic crisis are influence the whole factories income around the globe. As the consequences, their income has cause any money reductions to be contributed to national income of each country. The result would be longer impacted with prolonged demonstration.

As a conclusion, the government should be able to act any further responding those kind of obstacles. Even require many major debating to acquire the result of this issue. But still, everything is bact to the response of the people themselves about the impact of computers in life, which for their daily work. I believe that if the workers are capable of doing things efficiently to achieve the successful result, then it would not be a big deal for people and government of the country as well.

Writing a Summary (Practicing my SQ3R skills)

Teenage Suicide

Suicide has been increasing and it happens to everyone until this present time. Indeed, this is basically because of the highly emotional reaction neither from inner factors nor outer factors that force the person to commit suicide. In fact, suicide had been totally increasing since 1961 even until 1975, which were adolescents. The overall statistics also estimated 131 percent (Holinger, 1978), then 300 percent (Colt, 1983) since 1960, even more that one million teenagers (Peck, 1982) had done the same thing as well.
To solve this problem, we sholud look back to find the reason why adolescents were commit this kind of behavioural disorder. At the beginning, we have to realize the main reason and go to have an opened discussion. then after that, people (peers in this context) have to be nurtured and educated through practical help such as therapy to avoid the contemplation of suicide.

Icebergs: A Potential Survey of Water

In countries whee rainfall is very sparse, scientists must constantly seek ways to increase supplies of water. One method being considereed is the use of desalination plants, which would remove salt from seawater. Another method being considered is the towing of icebergs. According to this method, large icebergs from Antartica would be wrapped in cloth or plastic, tied to powerful tugboats by strong ropes, and towed to the countries needing freshwater. While this plan may have some potential, there are certain practical problems that must be solved.
The first problem is the expense. According to estimates, it would cost between $50 million and $100 million to tow a single 100-million-ton iceberg from Antartica to, for example, the coast of Saudi Arabia.
Secondly is the possibility that the iceberg would melt en route. No one knows if an iceberg could be effectively insulated for such a long journey. At the very least, there is the possibility that it would break up into smaller pieces, which would create still other problems.
On the third there is the danger that a huge block of ice floating off an arid coast could have unexpected environmental effects. The ice could drastically change the weather along the coast, and i would probablty affect the fish population.
And the fourth is the cost of providing freshwater from icebergs would be less than the cost of providing water by desalinization, according to most atimates. It would cost between 50 and 60 cents per cubic meter to get water from an iceberg, as opposed to the 80 cents per cubic meter it would cost to get the same amount by desalinization.
In conclusion, before icebergs can become a source of freshwater in the future, problems involving cost, overall practically, and most important, environmental impact must be solved.
