Answered by Examlex AI Copilota. Two examples of job categories for which the increased productivity of computer systems strongly reduced the number of people working in those areas are data entry and bookkeeping. With the automation and efficiency of computer systems, the need for manual data entry and bookkeeping tasks has decreased, leading to a reduction in the number of people employed in these roles.
b. An example of an area in which computer technology reduces jobs for skilled workers is in manufacturing. With the advancement of robotics and automation, many skilled workers in manufacturing industries have seen their jobs replaced by machines and computer-controlled systems. On the other hand, computer technology enables people with less skill and/or training to do jobs that used to require more, such as in customer service. With the use of chatbots and automated response systems, individuals with less training can now handle customer inquiries and support, reducing the need for highly skilled customer service representatives. This has changed the skill level required for these jobs, as basic computer literacy and communication skills are now more important than specialized training.
c. Two examples of jobs that did not exist before the Internet are social media manager and app developer. The rise of social media platforms and mobile applications has created entirely new job roles that were not necessary before the Internet became widely accessible. These jobs require a deep understanding of digital technology and online communication, skills that were not as crucial in the pre-Internet era.
