• Computers increase our efficiency because they help us save time with our work. They help sort information and can help find what you want faster then going through all the files manually. Also, we can email information in faster ways rather then having to print out a file and hand it to a coworker.
• Some fears generated might be the fear of computers and worries of wrist problems or eye problems and head aches and back aches. People might be fearful because they don't want to ruin their health or they might be intimidated by the new technology. A seemingly old person might not know how to properly function a computer when working and might be to shy to ask someone of a younger age.
