Before computers were invented, how the work place and businesses operated were different. However, with computer technology being advanced as it is today, it has changed the work place in both good and bad ways. An example of how the workplace has changed in a good way through computer technology, is that the work can be completed in any location throughout the world. Another positive attribute to the use of computer technology is that commuting to an office is no longer necessary. Also, this type of technology in the work-place is attractive to either families with younger children or individuals who are older. This type of work also gives individuals more access to maintaining goals in their career and family commitments.
While this type of work has positive reception, it can have bad results as well. One negative impact that this type of work can have on a individual is that the tension received from computer technology-based work can also enter the home. Also, isolation can be a result of at-home workers, along with not receiving promotions in their job. Gender inequality can be the result of this type of work, due to the type of work being popular with women. Due to the innovation of computer technology, a negative result is that people who do their work on computers do not have as much real-life interactions with their co-workers.
To conclude this essay, computer technology has its benefits and draw-backs. Either way, individuals must choose carefully, and weigh out their options.
