THE IMPACT OF COMPUTERS ON PEOPLE

P A R T I

The computer is one of the most powerful forces in society today. It's being used

everywhere - in homes and in organisations of all sizes - and no one can doubt that this

usage is having a strong impact on many people.

Many people enjoy careers in computer departments as managers, systems designers,

programmers, and operators. But we all benefit from computer usage. We benefit on the

job even though we aren't computer specialists. We benefit as consumers of the goods

and services provided by computer-using organisations. And we benefit at home by using

personal computers for work and for play.

Each day, computers help millions of people do their jobs more effectively. For

example, they can help managers decide on a future action (the planning function) , and

they can then help control the performance to see if planned goals are being achieved ( the

control function). And managers may not need to spend as much time in controlling when

a computer can respond with a quick report if actual performance varies from what was

planned. The time saved in controlling may allow managers to give more attention to

employee problems.

But employment benefits certainly aren't restricted to managers. Health care

researchers and other scientists now use computers to conduct research into complex

problem areas that couldn't otherwise be studied. Lawyers use legal data banks to locate

precedent cases in order to serve clients better. Sales people can receive more timely

information about products, can promise customers that their sales orders will be handled

promptly, and can thus improve their sales performance because of computer systems.

And the job duties of some office and factory workers have changed from routine,

repetitive operations to more varied and interesting tasks through computer usage. For

example, office workers who understand text processing, computer, and data

communications, usually have vital roles and are given crucial office functions to perform.

P A R T II

People also benefit as the consumers of the goods and services provided by

computer-using organisations. Here are some examples:

• Greater efficiency. Because businesses have avoided waste of time and have

improved efficiency through the use of computers, the prices we now pay are less than

they would otherwise have been. Computer uses can improve productivity - the amount

of goods and services that people and machines can produce from a given amount of input.

• Higher-quality products. Computers may also help improve the quality of the

products and services we receive. Computer-aided design (CAD) means the use of

computers and graphics-oriented software for the purpose of automating the design and

drafting process. An engineer at a CAD site - often called an engineering workstation -

can design a three-dimensional machined part, analyse its characteristics, and then subject

it to different stresses. If the part fails a stress test, its specifications can be changed. All

these steps occur as the engineer works with the CAD hardware and software. Computeraided

manufacturing (CAM) means the use of computers in the production process. The

CAM process picks up where CAD leaves off. During this production phase, robots

(devices programmed to physically manipulate their surroundings) and other computercontrolled

devices are used to produce higher-quality products.

• Better service. People may now receive better service from government agencies. In

contrast to the bureaucratic runaround that often accompanies a call to city hall, computer

system allows citizens to dial a single number, get the right city department, and be

guaranteed a response. The service benefits people receive from business computers

include (1) shorter waiting lines at banks, airline ticket offices, and hotel and car rental

desks, (2) faster and more accurate answers to the inquiries of people served by the

businesses, and 3) more efficient customer service. And the service benefits people receive

from companies in health care include (1) faster and more thorough testing to detect and

identify disease, (2) more accurate methods of physiological monitoring, and (3) better

control of lab test results and the dispensing of drugs.

• Entertainment and educational benefits. Some businesses are using computers

only to amuse and entertain us. Personal computer game programmes are being prepared

by hundreds of producers. Computer animation firms are writing programmes that give the

illusion of movement to inanimate objects. The results of this animation are now seen

regularly in movies and on TV. And the potential for computers in education has barely

been tapped.

• Improved safety. Computer usage contributes to improving quality as well as

personal safety in many ways. For example, microcomputers installed in motor cars now

provide a more efficient means of controlling the engine's fuel mixture, ignition timing,

and exhaust emissions. Computer-controlled antilock braking systems in aircraft and cars

help prevent dangerous skids and produce optimum stopping distance in all weather

conditions. Wheel-speed sensors detect if a wheel is stopping too quickly. A

microcomputer then automatically reduces hydraulic brake pressure at the wheel until the

danger has passed. And computers permit gas utility companies to do a better job of

managing and controlling the pipeline leaks that can seriously damage the environment.

• Better information retrieval. A New York surgeon contacted a medical library

when a sick woman lapsed into a hepatic coma. He needed immediate information on

exchange blood transfusions for the woman. Using a computer terminal and a retrieval

programme, the librarian searched more than a half-million medical documents in a few

minutes to get the information the surgeon needed to perform an emergency blood

transfusion. The patient recovered fully from the hepatitis. Most information retrieval

tasks obviously don't involve life-or-death decision, but quick computer-assisted retrieval

saves time for many people.
