- From an employment point of view, new IT solutions make employees
more efficient and productive. This happens because as they have more and better
tools to solve problems and carry out their tasks, this reduces each assignment's
duration and complexity. |
- Technologies have completely ended up with our privacy and freedom. Our data and
information is no longer of our property, as each time we enter a webpage we have
to allow cookies. |

| - From a personal point of view, in the last century, we have developed super complex security systems with a clear purpose: protect us, the things we love, the people we love. |
- New technologies and process automatization have provoked
the disappearance of hundreds of jobs. As robots carry out determined tasks way
better than humans. |

| - To highlight the area of medicine we have been studying throughout this document, surgery is the field in which robots and humans have been capable of “connecting” with each other and working together. The advantage of working with robots is that machines have no feelings and, consequently, no nerves nor panic attacks during critical situations. |
- Technology evolution has a side effect that directly affects the environment.
Industrialization has boosted climate change, deforestation and the overconsumption
of raw materials. - Bringing all of these back to surgery, it is not only the initial purchase price of surgery robots what constitutes the problem, but their constant maintenance actually is. Any of the mentioned robots can cost approximately 2 million euros to maintain. |
