Improved Society

No symbol is more potent than the computer in society today. Information technologies in general, and computing in particular, are widely understood as key engines of social change, driving the inexorable transition from the world as it was to the one that is emerging. A conviction that computerised ways of doing things are vastly more efficient--quicker, more powerful and authoritative, more cost-effective--than their conventional counterparts leads me to believe that Information Technology has improved Society. …

…be banned. The improvement to efficiency in Society has come about due to an increase in Information Technology. Technology that in the most part we could not do without today. Even a very stable computer system must periodically be taken out of service for scheduled maintenance and even today when that happens the office turns in to chaos. As humans we have come to rely on the efficiency of technology and this has improved society.
