1.Computing and Global Economy

-There is no doubt that computer plays an important role in the global economy. It has transformed the way we work in the modern work and created many new opportunities for people. Instead of tiredly going to the office every working day, white-collar workers can now work from almost from everywhere with just a few set up for communication platforms such as Zoom, GoogleMeet. This new kind of work has proven many benefits for employers and employee. According to a research conducted by University of Birmingham, working from home did improve employee’s concentration and increase their motivation towards work. (REFERENCE) Looking for a job has never been easier than before. You can find countless number of opportunities to job-searching applications online. The process also makes reaching out for employers quicker. People can look for opportunities beyond the countries they are staying in. Therefore, computer opens more opportunities for workers all around the world

-These three main factors are the main indication of how computer has driven productivity in the global economy. It gives people more opportunities to find the jobs matched with their skillset, more flexible working scheme, higher productivity at work.

2.Computing and the quality of life

-Computer has also improved our qualities of life. We will examine how it has achieved that in the following aspects:

-Entertainment: Computer has enriched our lives. In the past, you would need to get a cinema tickets or buying CD to watch your favourite movies. However, thanks to the new technology, we can have access to countless of movies through streaming platforms. -Human Interaction: Social media offers us a place to connect with our families and friends no matter where we are. It allows to keep us in touch with our love ones and keep update with their news daily. Students studying abroad may experience less homesickness by video calling with their families.

-Daily chores:

Parents might find it easier to buy products online. It is less time-consuming and reducing the time needed to travel to the market stores. In addition, they can also browse many types of products and the prices would be more cheaper. Computer can aid human with day-to-day tasks. For instance, people might need to worry less about cleaning household chores since robots can already take over that job.
