Do computers increase or decrease efficiency? Explain. I think computers have increased efficiency because it has allowed us to do things we would never be able to. They allow us to work from home and communicate very easily.They have made it easier for us to do things that would normally take a lot of time. Opens access to lots of information by the internet and search engines .They increase accuracy and precision such as in computer making factories to make silicon chips. *we increase our efficiency when we work with computers but without them we are less efficient then those in the past
What are some fears generated by the use of tech/computers in the work place? Many people fear that computers will destroy jobs and require more skills. For example like in automated factories, computers and robots replace human workers. Computers are becoming a problem for people who are inexperienced with computers because of the growing used of technology. Older workers do not have much experience using computers since they did not need them or use them as much when they were younger. Now that they are living in changed time the y have difficulty adjusting and even learning how to use new technology. They sometimes don't even feel comfortable working with more advanced technology. Another fear is that we are becoming to dependent on computers and so if anything does happen to them or there is a massive power outage there will be much loss.
