The Big Debate: Does HR need technology or technology need HR?

Does HR need technology or technology need HR? According to the pro-HR group, HR existed before technology and did very well, and technology is an equaliser while HR is the differentiator. The pro-technology group said that today many people are connected. Showing the example of mobile phone usage in the crowd, they said today it is not possible to imagine someone without a mobile phone. HR is the only function which continues to exist despite technology; the rest of the people have moved on. Wrong decisions don't take place because of technology, they do so despite it.
