Computers definitely increase efficiency in the work place because with computers there is less of a need to use alot of resources such as paper and work gets done faster. For example, spell check is a faster way to correct errors and is less prone to mistakes.
What are some fears generated by the use of tech/computers in the workplace?
Some fears could be that workers feel intimidated to use computers and technology when they have no experience with them and feel that they are not needed and that there job could possibly be in danger because of their lack of skills. Another fear could be that workers could be unsure of reliabilty of the software that they use and the possible loss of files. Another would be security because hackers could hack into files and tamper with important work.
List three job skills that have become obsolete in the 21st century and 3 jobs/skills that have taken their place.
One job that has become obsolete is a paper delivery person who goes around the office and delivers packages to employees. This is really no longer needed because employees can just email what they need to turn in to their bosses and also the bosses can email important things to their empployees. Another obsolete job is an elevator operator because we have technology now that does that now automatically with the press of a button. Lastly, another would be map makers because they no longer need to make maps due to GPS that is easier to understand and directly tells one where to go step by step.
