Read the passage below and answer the following questions. Computers are making inroads into our society whether India is ready for them or not. Also coming with them are potential threats in the form of office automation, factory automation, computer-controlled machine tools, expert systems, artificial intelligence machines, network datacom systems and so on, each one with the potential to theoretically displace entire chunks of the workforce. The stated response of most economists and sociologists to such a situation is to advise massive retraining of the workforce. But this is just a short-term solution. In a computer system which, for instance, automatically manufactures a chemical product, where previously 100 people used to make it with multiple divisions of labour, how many can be retrained and for which functions? The only jobs that would remain would be those of receiving the raw materials at the plant, site, manual inspection, handling emergencies in the machinery and inspection of the finished product.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are supported by the passage?
1. India needs to resist the invasion of computers for the sake of her society.
2. Computers are a potential threat to the workforce, which stand in danger of being reduced.
3. The present responses suggested by Economists and sociologists are at best temporary.
1 and 2
1 and 3
2 and 3
All the above.
- Statement 1: The passage does not suggest India needs to resist computers. It discusses the inevitability of their arrival and the resulting challenges. So, this is not supported.
- Statement 2: The passage clearly states that computers can displace the workforce, indicating a potential threat to jobs. This statement is supported.
- Statement 3: The passage mentions that suggestions by economists and sociologists are short-term fixes, implying they are temporary. This is supported.
- Option 1: Only statement 2 is correct, so this option is not fully correct.
- Option 2: Statements 2 and 3 are correct, but not 1, so this option is not correct.
- Option 3: Statements 2 and 3 are correct, making this option correct.
- Option 4: Statement 1 is incorrect, so this option is not correct.
