Twenty years ago people realized that computers were about to become part of our daily lives.
This short period of time has seen enormous changes in business, education and public administration.
Jobs which took weeks to complete in the past are now carried out in minutes. Clerks who spent all
day copying and checking calculations are now free from these tedious tasks. In offices, the soft hum
and clicking of word processors have replaced the clatters of typewriters. Schoolchildren have
become as familiar with hardware and software as their parents used to be with pencils and exercise
books. Computerization of public records has enable government departments to analyze the need of
citizens in detail. Some of us may wonder, however, whether life has really improved as a result of
these changes. Many jobs disappeared, for example, when intelligent machines took over the work.
Employers complain that clerical staff has become dependent on calculators and cannot do simple
arithmetic. There are fears that governments haven’t done enough to ensure that personal information
held on computers is really kept secret. Certainly, many people may not be wondering whether the
spread of computers has brought us as many problems as it has solved.
