Employment in the information age

The first time the computer device which has been in employment was back in the 20^th century and it was to calculate mathematic problems, from then on the computer has been devolved to do more stuff and help people in the industry. The first time a computer was invented by today standards was back in 1940 and it was at Bletchley Park and it was to try and crack the enigma code and the man who invented it was Alan Turing.  

Here is one of the code breakers at Bletchley Park.

 

With the increase of computers into the work place, the office scene was very different to the one we are used to. One of the main differences was most people were using type writer rather than computer, another big difference most of the information was store in a filing cabinet rather be stored on a database on a computer.      

As we can see that there are a number of many differences between the office of today and the office of 70s with the many being the number of computer the are in the office.

But as technology has got smaller it has made the computer more portable which has lead to the bigger increase of people using laptops and tablets which have allowed them to take their work on the go. So company have made tablets have let the employees use it to try and increase public knowledge of the devices.

With the introduction of the computer its has meant advantages to it with one being able to solve extremely hare mathematical or logical question which would take a human a long time. The other advantage which the computer has is that its memory can had a lot moiré then a human memory can plus most of this can be store on to a hard drive. With computer in the workplace it has opened up a new area for jobs which deal with computer such as writing data/ programs for the computer to follow.

However the is someone disadvantages to having computer in the workplace and one is that is it will crash or failure, this can happen during a power cut or if the computer doesn’t have the right portion is can be attack from virus. Which can lead it to have its memory wiped or it become non functional. With computer in the workplace in has meant the skilled workers have lost their jobs to computers and the computer can do it much faster then a computer.
