Конструкции as…as, not so… as

The term technological unemployment is applied to a certain type of workers whose
labor has been unclaimed due to the introduction of technology into the work process.
There are some advantages of this process. Firstly, people who have been replaced by
robots have more free time and are less tired. Secondly, technological unemployment will
force people to come up with more ideas to solve the ecology politics and technology
problems.
However, this process also has drawbacks. The worst thing is that more people will
commit crimes because they will have little money and a lot of free time. Also, the number
of unemployed will increase several times and their families will become poor.
In conclusion I would like to say that, despite the disadvantages of technological
unemployment, our world cannot fail to develop technologically and in any case it cannot
be avoided.
