Introduction:
Some jobs don't require skills but there are some obvious ones that involve the computer such as working in office where you will need keyboard skills, etc. Back in the days people didn't had any computers, they had type writers where they would type on papers on spread sheet and word press program. Further more now in modern day computers are found in all sorts of jobs. computers are now used to save all data and information. With technology things have changed very rapidly, as we see technology or computer devices everywhere an example would be a petrol station so if we are paying for petrol they will have computer. now we are living in the world that even the smallest shops in the UK have computer an technology devices such as self checkouts, CCTV, scanning items.
Technology in offices : There are still jobs that don't have computers or require computer skills such as security guards. But most of the jobs now require some sort of computer skills even in jobs that people would imagine that we don't need computer skills now would need for example: a post men now have electronic pads when delivering a package they would ask you to sign. Now offices have new Pc's (personal computers) for each staff they have their own desk and sometime their own room, back in the days people would use typewriter to write things now computer has made life easier and we can now write things such as reports in matters of minutes. There is now less paper work as most work or data is saved in computers, USB pin, memory cards or little chips where it can save all our data and we can use it whenever we want, back in the days there was more paper work as there wasn't technology devices to save data or work so people had to use papers and they would have filing cabinets where they use to put files in.
General changes in Employment: whenever any changes occur in employment industry, people suffer IT has a very high impact on employment people have been put out of work because of computer as computers can do human jobs and offices than need less staff. people now have been losing jobs because of the information age if we look at car companies they now don't need many staff as they have robotic machine where they can check what problem a car has and then a mechanic can easily fix it. Another really important thing that IT has overtaken is skills, skills can now take people jobs if we look people who had skills in sewing, now machine can do their jobs more quicker and cheaper which means that there is no work for sewer and he/she has to find another job. Things can be produce by computers incredibly beautiful then human and this is where human's jobs are not needed, computers can do things that human's can't do i.e. computers can check weather updates, check volcanoes, so human can monitor things through computer that are dangers where human can't go.Positive impacts of IT on Employment: it's bad that computers take over human job's not just for those people who lose their jobs but also for society. However there are new jobs created by computers for humans such as computers programmer, there has to be people who would want to be a computer engineer or programming. There also other jobs that created by computers, they are as follows:
- Repairing computers
- Amazon where things are bought online, these jobs are there because of IT
- App developer
- software and hardware engineers.

My personal experience: As I am currently working at Tesco, I have experience few things which are related to computers. My job is around scanning products on the till and sometime reducing prices of some products, and I can see how it has impact on all the businesses. so from my job I can see how IT is taking over most of jobs, as we know have to learn things that we didn't had a few years back.
