There are some duties in which human will carry out very well more than the machine. Take for instance, human beings can think on their own while needed to be operated by a human.
 
Can technology sometimes be an obstacle at the workplace? If so, please explain below.
Technology can not be an obstacle in a workplace rather a plus in workplace. It helps improve productivity and efficiency. It has enhanced effective communication, setting and achieving goals has been more easier with the help of technology and provide better avenue for learning and improvement. The advantage in enormous.
 
Can technology sometimes be an obstacle at the workplace? If so, please explain below.
Yes, sometimes.
I can remember when I use to download series of movies to watch for the weekend because the WiFi connection provided by the organization I work with was accidentally left on. The time I would've used to do some work was used for movie downloads.
 
You are right, technology is provided in the work place in order to make work faster and smoother. An example is someone who was given the company smartphone to handle social media inquiries, orders and complains from customers, instead of such a person concentrating on the job, the person may start to do personal things online (which are outside the job) and may end up not achieving the daily target.

Such a person described above would blame technology not knowing that he has been the one distracting himself.

Whatever technology equipments put in our charge or available in the office, employees should make sure to make effective use of them to achieve their daily targets/jobs.
 
Technology is just like a fair, if you use it wisely it will help you, however, if you mishandle it, it will cause a lot of damages. You will have to use technology to your advantage.
 
The world is fast shifting towards an advance technology. So many companies wouldn't want to be left out and that's the reason why the teeming companies employed the use of technology in their business activities. The only disadvantages is that it may replace some staffs.
 
Any company that do not employ the use of the current technological trend would be regarded as obsolete. This is what the developed business have and it's what the developing businesses yearn to have. There is absolutely no obstacles in the deployment of highly sophisticated technology to help your businesses.
 
For the most part new innovation and development is meant to make business simpler for individuals,I don't actually think there is any prospects of innovation being an impediment in a business association aside from the innovation is totally against the business rule.
 
Technology is a very important thing in a workplace. It helps with a lot of work, making them easier to do. The only obstacle is when it is misused. For example, employees may take too much time browsing the internet instead of working.
 
Can technology sometimes be an obstacle at the workplace? If so, please explain below.
Technology is the applicaton tool needed by almost all organsation to be able to carry out its function at an optimal level.It can never be obsolate,because it enhances the job schedule and operations of any firm.
 
Can technology sometimes be an obstacle at the workplace? If so, please explain below.
Yes, technology can obstruct workflow at the workplace.
Take for instance, at some work places, if there is free wifi, you would see a lot of staff concentrating on their phones, downloading one thing or the other, chatting and all. the work they were supposed to do at that time would have to be procrastinated.
 
Technology can never be an hindrance in a workplace except it is used wrongly. For instance, some staff might divert their time and attention from using the internet facility to surfing or chatting with their phones.
 
Technology can also serve as a distraction to the workers because they will so focused on their technologies and they end up forgetting what they were supposed to do
 
Currently I feel every business now requires technology because most things are done online now, technology make business easier and faster so technology is the work place
 
As our businesses become more global and diverse, our traditional means of communication can become more difficult to understand
 
The only obstacle I reason is that other people will be put out of their jobs or the fact that there may be less socializing since everyone might be engrossed in their little space and not coming together to work. Technology on the contrary is making work easier and much more efficient.
 
Use of technology at work is necessary for an efficient and effective delivery of input and output. If helps in making work faster. That's the reason most employees should be technologically skilled.

Technology can be used in any business but budget should also be observed when it comes to using technology. Most of the technology nowadays is expensive.
 
Well, no one can completely say, technology has become an obstacle at a work place or a saviour at a work place. This depends on how the people used the technology at work place. it really do eases work when it's used positively and negatively when it's not used properly.
 
Technology is an added advantage in a workplace, depending on context. It's helps enhances work done in a way and also can be a problem in a way.
I don't know the way technology could be the problem. Yes it's being abused by the workers to do things they shouldn't be used for but that is on the workers not the technology
