Life in the Information Age - Working Styles

The range of ICT technologies have a great effect on the population and the way people work now is very different to before.
Before people used to use calculators and pencils etc..... which they still do now just not as often. Nowadays people use spreadsheets.
Office staff are now expected to know how to use a computer; Word Process, Excel, Spreadsheets, Email etc.
Moreover, shop assistants are now using computerised tills, (EPOS) and Stock Control Systems.
Car mechanics use computerised equipment to figure out what is wrong with certain parts in the car.
As you can see technology is having a great affect on the way people live their lives. Nowadays people find it strange to discover that there are some who do not know how to use a computer, this is Prof that the digital divide is slowly closing, become smaller.
Over the years jobs have changed dramatically because of computers and will still continue to do so, with even greater effect.
