A. make an argument for halting the advances of technology? b. make an argument for continuing advances in technology

Halting advances in tech could be useful because the automation in many tasks has rendered the human touch obsolete in many lower-level positions. They can be done by machines without the need for stoppage time for breaks. Continuing technology can be useful because it can increase output and make it easier for people to get what they're wanting or needing without spending extravagant amounts of resources.
