I. The holistic approach towards technology, labour, production and social structures such as state, political party, labour organizations etc. The author has never taken technology and its consequences(both positive and negative) out of the socio-political context. The wider implications of automation, technology are explained by quoting Carl Benedikt Frey, Thor Berger, and Chinchih Chen, considering whether the technological disruption is already feeding through into voting behaviour (2018). They argue that "electoral districts with a higher share of jobs exposed to automation are significantly and more likely to have supported Trump in the 2016 US presidential election, concluding that to ‘avoid further populist rebellion and a looming backlash against technology itself, governments must find ways of making the benefits from automation more widely shared ".
II. The second theme that can be contributive to the study of labour and technology is the emerging gig economy. In India, there is a greater boom of service sectors such as transportation under the gig economy. One such example is the uber eats, uber cabs etc, which made transportation and food delivery easier and cheaper in metro cities. There were several protests hoisted by the counterparts of uber and gig economy, who are doing the same job in a conventional way. Many of India's major cities witnessed the protest against uber cabs by conventional cab drivers.
III. The third contribution by this particular paper to the field is its exploration on the areas of how technology is used to control and manage the workforce on one hand and how the same mechanism implemented by technology is used by workers to counteract such control. The process of hiring, production, and monitoring are used to control workers whereas hiring implemented online enables more chance for workers with choices and speedy recovery from job loss. The changes in production relations help the worker with the easing of hectic works. The monitoring of work will be seen as a call for workers to organize themselves. It helps them to think about sabotaging the entire process, through what we refer to as everyday resistance or weapons of the weak (James Scott, )
