Ever since the beginning of our existence, man has been trying to forge ahead and better himself. Throughout history man has pushed to achieve that which had always been considered unachievable. Sure some have shunned advancements and some have even tried to destroy it, yet it and we still move on. At the point we have reached today, technology not only enables us to have better lives, it also gives us the opportunity for global unity and advancement. I feel that the major effect that computer technology has made is to make us a global society, made communication as fast as the blink of an eye which results in quickly sharing ideas therefore making it possible for us to work with others in our fields to make those technological advancements at quantum speed.

To assess what the affect of computer technology has on our culture we must look to the past. We would do this and we will see a magnificent difference between now and then.

(Cecile Chase) People work just as hard with the computer or device as they would any other way.

Many people in our culture today have a hard time integrating modern technology with their current business practices. "I don't see the purpose, things work smoothly so I won't fix them. It's too much of a hastle." (Dennis Sweeney) These people feel that a blend of the two is unachievable and choose to still rely on the old ways. I don't believe these people are completely wrong, they just do not understand computers or haven't received proper training. Tailoring training programs to the individual and showing them just how much of their work can be accomplished with ease will go a long way to making these people comfortable with new tools to complete their work.
