ICT

Changing work patterns

Better quality products

  • Products made with computers should be of a better quality than before. For example, car bodies are welded more accurately by robots than by humans.
  • Robots don't get tired so the quality of work is consistent.
  • Machines controlled by computer are more reliable than those controlled by humans.
  • Miniaturisation - many electrical items, such as mobile phones and video cameras have become much smaller due to developments in technology.
