impact my job, it is my job. :) \n\nI am an IT computer fix-it guy.\n\nif this is a homework question you could say something about how many people the tech market employs world wide.\n\nI would say the 24/7 communication part has hurt my personal life due to the fact i am now able to be on call 24/7 and that is seen as OK.

Technical jobs are definitely more important.  In the last 20 years we've experienced a technological revolution.  Computers are the way of the future - so IT jobs matter!

computers ONLY increase productivity if people know how to use them properly, otherwise they actual decrease productivity for about 6 months til the user is up to speed

Computers are technology and affect most peoples lives.\nWhether or not they improve or degrade our lives is purely down to whether you are an optimist or pessimist. Personally I'm an optimist!

We wake up (usually by an alarm clock), we get ready for work, school etc (usually listening to the radio or watching TV), we go to work or school (usually by car, tube, train or bus) while listening to our ipods, chatting on our cellphones or watching our ipod TV's. At work we use computers and telephones. At lunch time, draw some money (from a cash point) and buy our lunch (at the till point), then we may do a spot of lunchtime shopping (on our credit cards), then we go back to work and send silly emails around the office or chat to cyber friends on msn or yahoo messenger. We travel back home and use our cells on the way to send texts, talk or listen to the radio. We prepare dinner (sometimes in a microwave) and watch TV or listen our stereo. We play computer games and watch movies, chat on the phone and on the Internet, and as it gets darker we use electricity to be able to see, we have a shower and get ready for bed.\n\nTechnology has made us complacent, lazy and shifted our focus on the important aspects of life. Because our every need is catered for in some way by technology, we get greedy and impatient for things that will further enhance our way of life. It has provided the most wonderful creations and things that we, at somepoint, would never have imagined, yet it has made us all vulnerable and open to the darker minds of our society and addicted to what we cant live without.\n\nTechnology has effected society by giving no boundery. It has created a people of instant touch-of-a-button satisfaction with more, more and more requested. If technology had not developed as fast as it had people would spend more time interacting in 'real-time' in person. Family and Community morals would be of more value as there wouldn't be such a variety of things to seclude and distance us.\n\nWhile technology can bring people closer and encourage people to spend time together, it seems that technology seperates generations. With each generation theres something new and cool that comes out that alienates the previous one. \nFor example \nRecord LPs - Cassette - CDs - MP3. \nVideo Tape - DVD. \nPen and paper - Typewriter - Computer - Laptop. \nWalkman - CDman - ipod. \n\nHowever, I love my phone, I love my computer and all the other things mentioned above! But its the fact that we rely so heavily on technology that makes us weak. Quite simply, with more technology comes more control of our society. And we are not the ones controlling it.

Good effect - Information is a click away.\n\nBad effect - We have become too dependent on the computer.

You've recognized that you want to change your work habits, that's the first step.  You've asked for help, that's the second step.  You are on your way to breaking this habit.\n\nI'm assuming that the computer you use at work is networked.  That means your boss can easily check your web page histories...and they do that.\n\nConsider the fact that if your employer discovered what you were doing with your extra time at work, you'd probably be fired.  That might help your situation.\n\nJust keep reminding yourself that your employer expects you to earn your nine hours of pay each day.  Good luck to you.

With every new technology comes good and bad.\n\nFor instance, I'm a trainer for a living, so having mobile technology such as a laptop with wireless and remote access is great for my job, but I'm always at work now. Even my RDO's are spent putting out spot fires before they become raging inferno's to deal with on my return.\n\nHowever that being said, they probably wouldn't be raging inferno's, it's just a perception oh no something to do, deal with it. \n\nThat being said, Imagine if you had to fax all your letters, or send via snail mail. Data transfer and communication is a great asset that has been bought to us by technology. \n\nWe can send an email off and mark it as waiting on someone else on our to do lists instantly. \n\nWe can prepare macros and programs to remove mundane and pointless repetitive labour from our lives. Mail merges mean one letter, one list of names and addresses, two clicks, and bang, merged and printed.\n\nDepending on the Job technology can be a nuisance, handy, or an outright neccessity as some industries have grown to depend heavily on it.\n\nThe greatest benefit by far of computers is Databases.\n\nYou can either file your clients in a filing cabinet, search for them, add to them, re-file them. Or you can build a database, build a front end for that database, and once down, that time and money pays for itself, as repetitive and manual mundane filing is dead.\n\nI've worked with databases with millions and millions of entries, and I could not even imagine manually filing such an incredible amount of hard copy information.\n\nThe one neccessity for implementing technology as such, is a disaster recovery plan. You MUST be able to recover from a crash before becoming dependant on technology.

I dunno, but my first computer job was back in 1966 .... there were FIVE computers in this city of 100,000 people then - and each new one in town would be almost front page news.\n\nThat computer had 96K RAM .... our company used it for a few years, then needed to expand, so we upgraded (probably for $20,000+!) to a "massive" 192K\n\n(Yes, that is "K", not MB, GB, etc etc!)

My first IT job (if you can call it that) was assembling computers.  They were all barebones, which meant we had to basically build them from scratch.  I learned what each part of a computer does and how to troubleshoot them.

Nope, The computer is a substitute.  We do this because we are missing something elsewhere.  If we find peace and satisfaction, we won't be on this gig any more.  What are you missing?

Computers, like several other everyday items, was originally developed as a "tool".  Some of the first applications developed for the PC were word processors and spreadsheets, meant to take the place of typewriters and updating calculations on a chalkboard.\n\nBecause computers were able to perform many calculations with exceptional accuracy and speed compared to a human being, they were good for balancing checkbooks, amortizing loans, as well as keeping records of assets.\n\nAside from being a tool for calculations, the computer nowadays is used as a vehicle for entertainment purposes (such as games, music and videos) as well as advertising (banner ads on Web sites or Adware).\n\nWith the advent of the internet, computers helped people communicate with one another; both person to person as well as many people to communicate at once either through Web forums or in real-time such as Internet Relay Chat.\n\nDue to many of the innovations to which computers had been adapted, computers also helped provide a market for people to build, support, program and use them in their everyday lives.
