- Machines have been more used than man so it has cut jobs.
- your money gets payed directly into your personal bank account (BACS)
- electronical banking means that people use the internet to bank and they have cut down on the number of people.
- cash points can be used to get money insted of the bank, means you don't as many staff because not as many people coming.
- Secretaries are not really used because they tend to do it for themself insted of getting a secretary to touchtype or short hand. Mircrosaft applications means people have lost their jobs because the person can do themselves
Jobs that have come around over the past 10 years:
- comapanies that are internet providers- the poeple that connect you to the internet, techincal problems solvers. ICT systems are vital to business
- Online retailers, people use to have a shop on a highstreet but now they can have one online and they need fewer amounts of poeople.
- People who have manufactured the computers and made them. online gaming has become more popular and it takes millions of people to create on, just as many as producing a film.
Jobs that have moved to other countries:
- Calls centre- they are well trained in computer systems. Place like india have a serge on jobs. Labour is cheaper aborad rather than employing someone from our country.
- Advantages of other countries - is the timezone because their daytime is our night time so its an ongoing system all over the world. You can send infomation anywhere in the world.
- Problems-They have explain about british culture and the language barrier is harder. Phases are not always taught.
People are more reliant on technology, just working, walking down a street, generally walking down the street.. Without ICT we wouldn't have anything to entertain ourselfs with.

Title: Hi-Tech slowdown threatens Uk.
This article describes the effects of taking on computers and laying certain people off. It says it has take many people on and it has made the business environments more softer to work in. By replacing people with computers i have left man power in a team also also they have to play for loads of technicians. How recently the technology productions have slowed down and the public have got used to using the technology. This means that production has slowed down and less people are needed for the demand and also the amount of technicians needed are less because people are becoming more able to handle the technology.
This is a negative point because people are losing their livelihood just because technology is slowing down. Maybe one day the technology will pick up again and will produce more jobs but at the current time it is not.
