Object Orientated Computing

The fact that programmers now don’t have to rewrite code every time they want to update or creat a new system is a very important point. Systems can be updated and maintained far more easily. The reason for this being that any changes made will not affect the objects as the procedures required for the actions of the objects are retained within the objects and cannot be accessed from outside the object. By encapsulating computing and programming procedures in objects the system is less likey to be negatively affected by change. Why try and create something which has already been successfully created. It means that systems can be implemented faster, easier and more cost effectively. These factors in turn help the technology industry advance and a faster rate and help it become more efficient and productive.

Suppose you were asked to update a system in a company to include a function which calculated employees pay. It means that programmers can now create business solutions far quicker and more efficiently than before. Object orientation also makes updating a system far easier.

From this we can see that object orientation in technology is vitally imporatant. This is a far more convenient approach than the procedural way in which a person would have to restruce and recreate the entire system to accommodate the changes. Using the procedural approach you would be faced with the task of writing an entire programm which would then read all the data required for the calculation and and carry out the task.
