The topic of this thesis is the importance of transition from the typing machines to the computers in the corporate environment. The custom has been established to use typewriters during the previous century as this had been the only available technique for providing text output except for handwriting. It is necessary to realize that computer writing is beneficial both economically as the result of saving costs and also in regard to health and output of the employees. The comparison of competitive benefits such as integration and task facilitation proves that any company accepting computer technology is to achieve a distinctive advantage.
Use of computers allows easy file duplication, sharing through local area network and provides bulk output through printers. The most important advantage is the electronic transfer of the text from input devices such as keyboards, mice and tablets*, meaning that employees would no longer be required to put heavy mechanical force of a typewriter in order to achieve corresponding reaction. Accepting these facts will certainly result into increased performance due to facilitation of the work and consequent decrease of costs connected with the obsolete methods and potential health risks as proved by the National Health Association. Therefore, transition to the modern methods of computer writing will improve corporate position in the market with one short-term investment.
The corporate environment must realize that any further cooperation with clients will be carried out through computers. It is vital to accept this new trend even though it requires improvement in the technological equipment. Had the advancing development of the electronic company integration been rejected by a company, it would face the risk of diminished work organization in absence of team computer tools. A comparison chart is enclosed.
Except for this, there are also some long-term outlooks, giving computers further potential advantages over typewriters during years to come. Unlike typewriters, computers need an operating program for text processing. Computer mechanism is different from that of a typewriter. Computer programs are not fixed and are to be further improved without computer replacement or available partial upgrade.
Implementation of electronic programs further allows multi-purpose usage. Computer applications are incredibly diverse, allowing quick graphic illustration incorporated directly to the text. Former illustrative tools are quickly replaced by the virtual ones. Almost complete integration allows automation of most corporate tasks, which are programmable to be made either fully automated or half-operated.
Changes necessary in corporate infrastructure have been disclosed. Advancing introduction of computer technology makes typewriting obsolete. Computers make health of employees no longer threatened by difficult mechanical keyboard. These new devices make costs ensuing from wrist damage diminished, while work is done more swiftly. File duplication allows double output, allowing multiplication of performance. Computer technology means short-term investments and long-term gains. Broad corporate environment already implements computers, making the transition inevitable. Increased cooperation brings more control and automation to the management with ability of virtually costless innovation and extension of the computer software according to the company needs.
