Computers and Employment

In this age of machinery it is indeed right to say that computers have taken over the world. Or in better words, life would come to a standstill without computers. In all fields of life people have resorted to computers to get their work done easily and effectively. Be it in the field of banking or in the business world or in the fashion world computers have overcome man’s brain though it is true that computers are the result of man’s work. But in the 21^st century and in the centuries to come this truth is bound to get reversed and the next probability is that computers will start controlling human brain.

Though generally computers are used for good purposes there is always the dark and evil side of each and everything. Computers are now being used for all the wrong reasons. Starting from the breaking of cyber laws and receiving emails that threaten somebody’s life. The ill effect was brought into the limelight by the email threat that the Indian President received. Breaking of cyber laws has now become a common thing as even children aged five know how to hack a system’s database (don’t worry I’ve haven’t learnt this art yet). Recently there has been an upsurge in this and this has resulted in many companies taking effective measures and to prevent ‘flame’. Now this has also grabbed the media attention as the First Ladies of many European countries have volunteered and have been made the brand ambassadors to prevent this.

Though computers have many ill-effects they are still considered to be the greatest achievement by humans and they in turn provide many opportunities to many people. Computers are now building up the nation’s economy by getting more and more people employed. As everybody knows, software companies are providing many opportunities to unemployed youth. Companies like Infosys and Wipro have started large scale recruitment of youth. They not only provide these people with job but also give them ‘fat salaries’. Unemployed youth have now started learning many computer programs like Java, C++ and Adobe for they are sure that these will help them land in jobs that are selling like hot-cakes.

Not only software companies offer such opportunities but even the hardware department is not far behind. Companies like Patni and Cognizant are setting up recruitment camps all over the country in order to recruit professionally qualified people and thus build up their own profits.

It is not only the computer companies who recruit people and provide opportunities. A look at the internet shows millions of jobs which need people. Websites like naukri.com and monsterjobs.com have stepped up their campaign and it has certainly become true that a job is just a click away. All one has to do is just upload his resume and just click and Walla!!! your job is not far away.

In overpopulated countries, computers have become a boon rather than a bane. In these countries there are more people who are in search of employment and what better ways than through the computer? You need not toil hard and wait in long queues for your turn. The computer has provided the easiest way of acquiring a job. The ever-expanding economy is providing more opportunities and so even the world of computers is enlarging providing more and more people with a secure job in their hands.
