Computers and Us

Computers are the future whether we like it or not. Some people dislike computers, because of the complications it takes to understand the basics. Computers are not exactly the easiest tools to work with, but they are the most rewarding, and they are the future.

Future cars will all be run by computer. You will be able to talk to a car and it will take you to your destination. Telephones are technically computerized. You will soon be able to talk to a person on the telephone as well as look at the person you are talking to on a television set. Also television is computerized. Soon we will have true three dimensional television. We will be able to watch television like we never have watched it before. We will be able to touch the characters, and feel the characters like they were in the room with you.

For people who don't know much about computers, you will be lost in the future. You should learn what you can while you still have the chance, because things will develop too quickly for you and you will not be able to cope with new technological events. Computers will fall into careers and our everyday life more rapidly then you think.

Perhaps you would like to be a teacher. You will store all class data, students work, names, grades, records all accessible by computer. Or, how about a doctor. You will use computers to examine and evaluate a patients problem quicker and more efficiently. These are only a few examples. The bottom line is, computers provide worthwhile careers.

Having a job that involves computers, in terms of the conditions, is very much similar to any office job. In most of the common jobs, the worker will get to an office in the morning, sit at a desk, in front of a computer, and will do very little manual labor except a lot of typing. For example, the computer consultant we have already mentioned, might do several jobs, a few being: Traveling to clients computers, writing customized programs, repairing computer parts, and teaching/ guiding students in learning. Only the repair aspect of this job, would require actual manual labor. However, computers and computer parts are so well built and shall continue to be even more well built, that repair is only a small fraction of a consultant's daily routines. Overall, conditions for the majority of jobs dealing mainly with computers, shall include very little manual labor, unfavorable conditions, and much knowledge, typing skills, and good communication skills in dealing with people.

With computers and the computer industry being the most rapidly changing industry and product in the world, the job outlook for any job dealing with computers or the industry is almost completly unpredictable. However, with the computer industry only being around for a short period of time compared to the other industries of the world, we can still get a somewhat accurate idea of where the industry is heading based on the amount of change already inccured by the technology.

Firstly, computers have, over the years, been taking control of more and more of the dealings of human everyday life, and because of efficiency they have proven, it would be likely to assume that one major change of the computer industry from today until tomorrow will be control of more and more of our everyday life. Therefore, the outlook on the jobs relating to computers in the future, shall be not only enlarged in field, but also will encompass more aspects of everyday life than anything before in history, except for maybe sleeping. By this, it is meant that computers will not just be something that you choose to know or learn in the future, but something that will just be part of everyone's common sense and knowledge. Because computers are so rapidly changing not only in their technology but also the amount of job fields they create, earnings is yet another difficult aspect of computers to predict.

As of now, because computer knowledge is so valuable in today's business world, salaries are quite favorable. This along with the job conditions mentioned earlier
