Pros and Cons of Computer Technology :: Computers

Pros and Cons of Computer TechnologyIn the last couple of decades, compute technology has expanded hugely and has become part of our daily lives. many of us use computers at work, school and even at home. We are at the point where we quite a little non return to our old lifestyles because we have accustomed ourselves to an easier way of life through computers. There are many advantages to working with computers as well as disadvantages. The performance of computers in our society has helped facilitate our lives. Computers can help us create and edit documents very easily and can help us speed up work. It is now easier to communicate and send documents through computers at the push of a button. The Internet and E-mail services are just two examples of many features that computers can offer. There are many benefits that technology can offer but not everyone has the sufficient background or training required. Computer literacy is a learn in todays work force and is mostly affecting the older times. The older generation is at a disadvantage compared to the younger generation that is already universe exposed to computers at school. Computer skills are a major issue and will force the older generation to return to school for training. The older generation will have to live with this drastic change and will be forced to adapt to our technology otherwise they will be left behind. Many people feel that computers have eliminated thousands of jobs. For example, in the Interview with the Luddite, Kirkpatrick Sale states, We have an estimated 6 million people who have lost their jobs to automation, or overseas shops, since 1988. Kevin Kelly on the other hand disagrees with Kirkpatrick Sale and states, Its leading them to study coputers and to learn how to get a job with computers. The number of jobs created by computers and technology is rally more sound. I agree with Kevin Kelly on the fact that computers and technology has generated just as many and even more job s to our society than it has eliminated. I feel that computers do not mean that jobs will be eliminated because we still need people to run these machines but that people need to be trained in a contrastive skill. For example, many years ago the Engineering Industry use to develop blue print projects by hand. Today Engineers use different types of computer software package such as Cad Key, Auto Cad, and Micro Station which require cmputer training in the specific software.
