anaylsising the good old days

Two applications he could use are microsoft access and excel.

These both have there advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of Access are that you can automatically fill in forms from other spreadsheets and databases so this saves you the hassel of doing it by hand. An advantage of using excel is that it can do calculations automatically and work out percentages and charts from your data this is very good for anyone, or any buisness because it saves them alot of time and money.

secretaries and typists were affected by these office packages because they found they are no nger need as much as they were because anyon e can do their job now so there is no need to hire as many, hwereas before they were the only people who could do that job. I think that access affected them the worst because it can do everything they can but quicker and with no faults, this is the same with excel the calculations wil always be right, because there is little human input so there is no room for human error.

However when these new office applications alot of new jobs became avaliable. Some examples of jobs are computer programers, and computer anaylsises. These new office applications made way for a whole new carrer which was the digital carrer. These carrers required lots of work because these systems had never been used before so no one really knew what they were doing on them.
