i totally agree with futuristic that this topic wasn't intended for pro and against arguments.
probably you should have mentioned the major troubles of devices rather than going straight to their worth because that is reason that this question arise in the first place.no one doubts the usefulness of the machines.
also the second sentence of your outline suggest that you have changed the word troubles with productive boldly.this gives the impression as if you have misunderstood the topic or changed the theme.
But don't be upset because overall your outline is coherent.
pardon me for my harsh words since you have asked for it and i have given my honest opinion.

I think for or against didn't apply this essay.
It was a straight forward topic as examiner intends to ask the pitfalls associated with tha latest technology.
Any how best of luck

Your criticism is welcome . One can always go against any topic. like in the first topic one could have said that war on terror is not a violation of human rights. or one could have said that anticipation is not better than realization. or that punctuality is virtue of the virtuous. or that digital technology hasn't altered technologies etc. In CSS, as far as i have learned from seniors, it does not matter what your argument is, what matters is whether you are able to prove your argument or not. I passed essay last time. I did not go against the topic that time but let's see what happens now

But now if you agree with me that one can go against a topic, have i done justice to my argument? Your further criticism would be even more welcome Stay blessed.

1. Introduction

2. Body
2.1. What are labor saving devices? They are machines.

2.2. Why machines are more productive
2.2.1. They save time.
2.2.2. They are efficient.
2.2.3. They minimize errors.
2.2.4. They provide employment opportunities.
2.2.5. They propel research and development.
2.2.6. They organized the social structure.

2.3. How machines are more productive
2.3.1. They spare time for recreational and spiritual activities.
2.3.2. They increased output per unit.
2.3.3. They overcame the nuisance of redoing things.
2.3.4. They increased income and prosperity.
2.3.5. They increased knowledge.
2.3.6. They simplified administration of cities and countries.

2.4. Comparison
2.4.1. Agricultural societies vs Industrial Societies
2.4.2. Wool spinning vs textile mills

2.5. Recommendation
2.5.1. Replace old methods of production with modern methods of production.
2.5.2. Invest in new machines.

3. Conclusion

Though I agree with you that one could go against any topic but you have redefined the topic.The opposite of "troublesome" is not necessarily "productive".You could have simply said that the labour saving devices were not more troublesome than they were worth.Nevertheless, your approach to your own chosen direction of essay is pragmatic, and I hope you pass the exam.

"labor saving devices are not only not troublesome they are more productive than they are worth"

Going against the topic is not a healthy approach at all. When the examiner has already taken a stance that labor saving devices are more troublesome, then there is no need to go against the topic. If the topic were ' labor saving devices; blessing or curse?', then you would take a side and prove your stance. However, it's always safer to move with the tide. Dear, you have argued utterly against the examiner's opinion. It's very hard to convince him in such a way. Still i wish you a good luck.

I concentrated more on troubles associated with the devices and less on their worth and usefulness.

dear, the last point, impact on our lives, should have been given at the very first place. The examiner is interested more in knowing the troublesome impact of labor saving devices on human life. He is very less concerned about the enviornment etc. You should have explored more on negative impact of labor saving devices. It's my opinion; one may disagree with it.

@ futuristic

Bro your perspective is perfect i would say but here it is...

An outline is supposed to be 'clear'. see your outline begins with:

1.Automobiles.....synching distance or creating panic!

so what? What does it even mean? What are you trying to say?

the first line under the introduction heading should be your thesis statement. in this case you should have said that labor saving devices are more blah blah blah.

then your heading should have been:
2. Some labor saving devices which are more troublesome than they are worth:
2.1
2.2

you have to guide the examiner. facilitate him. in your outline he has to do a lot of brain work. i hope i am able to convey my point.
