How does technological advancement affect the availability of talent?

• A. It reduces demand for digital skills
• B. It creates demand for digital skills while making some traditional roles obsolete
• C. It has no effect on job roles
• D. It makes all jobs obsolete eventually

Answer: (B)

Tech progress reshapes the talent market by driving up the need for digital skills while phasing out some legacy roles. As automation, AI, and digital platforms scale, organizations seek workers who can design, build, manage, and secure these systems, creating new demand for skills like programming, data analysis, cybersecurity, cloud, and automation. At the same time, routine or manual tasks can be automated, making certain traditional roles less relevant or obsolete. This shift also opens opportunities for new roles that didn’t exist before, requiring upskilling and adaptability from the workforce. So the best answer reflects both the growth in digital-skill demand and the obsolescence of some older roles, rather than suggesting no effect, no impact on skills, or that every job will disappear.
