Computers problems in business? • Accumulation of large amounts of data • Glitches and problems to software • Too much dependence on computers • Decreased productivity in some cases • Computer system hacking and cracking • Promotion of robots
Solutions • Effective ways to store data and back up plans for software • Software renewal and test control • Back up plan if computers vanish or become useless • Software to record worker activity or reward for productive workers • Better security software and more advanced software handlers • Increase human productivity. Seminars on task automation, time management
Problem continuity in future? • More effective ways to store data and make data collection, retrieval and access faster. • Attention on updating software and software control • No change Moving into IOT era • More strict to unproductive employees • No change Governments, organizations, different causes continue to exist and emerge • Bigger problem. People getting fired. Many things done by robots
