We all know that our lives have changed a lot since
the time that computers were introduced, nowadays almost everyone uses internet
either for work or personal use but
what exactly has changed?
Advantages
· We now live a faster, easier life, and we can do
more interesting jobs.
· Work fewer hours and more leisure times as work is
quicker.
· To keep up with other people we need to use IT.
· Many aspects of our modern life would simply be
impossible without IT.
· New type of jobs are being created with the
introduction of IT e.g. programming, network, managing etc. taking the place of
jobs that were completely computerised.

Disadvantages
· Jobs have been de-skilled.
· Life without IT is slower and less stressful.
· Computers can do a job more cheaply than a person,
so people will be removed from the factory scene.
· The new jobs being created by the use of IT are only
for highly skilled and qualified people.

done by computers no longer have a job.

eroded people's privacy.
