hand were either repetitive, dangerous, or
             both. As one might speculate, problems then arose from the methods of handling these
             tasks. Every task was subject to some type of human error, whether it was a mistake in
             adding, a misspelling of a name or organization, the improper filing of a certain
             document, etc. At times, employees were simply not able to process the volume of data
             coming into their workplaces. This caused companies to get behind in their operations
             and records, which in turn yielded a loss in revenue. Many companies fell behind in this
             way because of the manual system's inability to accommodate for the growth of the
             industry. In turn, this affected the management departments of businesses, which relied
             upon up-to-date information from their employees in order for them to make decisions on
             time (239). Also, workers accidentally injured themselves in some of the dangerous work
             environments involving machinery and volatile chemicals, because many of the
             employees were required to work very near to machinery or toxic chemicals, and were
             not given much protection from the hazards created by the noxious vapors rising from
             chemicals or malfunctions in machinery. An answer to these problems needed to be
             Perhaps that answer lied in computers. They provided the solutions businesses
             and industries needed to handle repetitive and dangerous jobs. Computers were able to
             assist clerks in their operations. Injuries could be reduced that were caused by accidents
             with chemicals or machinery (237). These solutions impacted the employment aspect of
             industry by making jobs become safer and less repetitive. Employees began to be hired to
             perform different tasks as a result of the change in the tasks to be performed (de Ferranti
             70). Employees began to become involved with computers in business in order to satisfy
             several objectives. Systems were installed for employees to assi...
