  1. EFFECTS OF COMPUTERISATION

  2. INTRODUCTION • FAST CHANGES • HUMAN MIND • MORE CONVENIENCE • PROFESSIONALS DEPEND ON COMPUTERS • EVEN NON-PROFESSIONALS- ENTERTAINMENT AND COMMUNICATION AT HOME

  3. DEPENDENCE • SOCIETY DEPENDS ON COMPUTERS • E.G.- FINANCIAL WORLD

  4. COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY • The shopping centres, the financial world of banking, insurance and credit companies. • Industrial organisations: steel, chemical and oil companies: own internal administration and actual control of the plant processes, in extremes of cold, and in dirty and noisy atmospheres

  5. EDUCATION AND AMDINISTRATION • Form of teaching is known as computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and computer-assisted learning (CAL). • Civil Service aids the government in applying the laws of the country; local County Halls: administration of street lighting, refuse collection, housing, road maintenance, local laws etc.

  6. TRANSPORTATION, OTHER PROFESSIONS • Land, sea and air transportation and also traffic systems • The law, medicine, libraries, the armed forces and many other professions and working environments

  7. INDIVIDUALS • The motorist, the air passenger, some hospital patients, the shopper in any large store, everyone who pays for rates, electricity, telephone or gas has their bills processed by computers. • Most people who receive a weekly or monthly salary: salary slips generated by computers.

  8. Why Society is Dependent upon Computers • Ability to calculate (computer): speed, accuracy, consistency • Processing Information: ability to record and store information, process that information, and reproduce the information efficiently. For quick decisions.

  9. DISADVANTAGES • Privacy of Personal Information • Unemployment ( new jobs also created. Use computer for dull and repetitive tasks, use people for creative and challenging work) • Technology Gap (poor countries)

  10. Micro-electronics • washing machines • microwave ovens • petrol pumps • pocket calculators • digital watches • re­frigerators • word processing machines • point-of-sale device • many computer peripherals, in military and space applications, and in aircraft

  11. Some Applications of Microcomputers • Small organisations (lawyers, accountants, doctors) • Industries (automated assembly process) • Robotics for the disabled

  12. The Future Home Computers • Breakfast, telephone calls, notes to reminds us • Working from Home (shop, CAL) • The Electronic Office • Artificial Intelligence (capability to reason, to make judgments, and even to learn. E.g. diagnosing lung diseases, locating mineral deposits, and deciding where to drill oil wells.) • Great political and social revolution

  13. ROBOTICS • Advantages Increase productivity, Accuracy, Reliability, Flexibility situations, Quality, Speed, Efficiency • Disadvantages Initially expensive, Unemployment, Can cope with only particular aims, Need special maintenance

  14. CONCLUSION • NO HUMAN CONTACT • HIGH WAGES FROM CLERKS • The future does not depend so much on computers but upon our use of computers • Decide when to use computers and when not to use them.
