The monster in the machine
Article Abstract:
To maintain productivity, computer users must employ useful technologies, not merely use technology for technology's sake. If a process is easier and faster when performed manually, then it should not be automated. Determining the value of an electronic process will depend on the user. The amount of technology that firms give to their employees should match the work done. A computer used primarily for word processing should be a bare-bones model, not a top-of-the-line system. Users should keep track of time spent using online services, since charges accrue rapidly. Users should retain documentation, especially manuals that accompany software products, and should take the time to register software with the vendor. A $20 surge protector can safeguard an expensive computer. Computers also need protection from vacuum cleaners, buffers and office equipment. Most importantly, users should always back up files despite the time and expense required.
