Computers may be the cause of technology being used wrongly e.g. fierce competition in discovery learning by undermining other people's work.

  • Computers will become inoperable due to a power failure leaving large companies at a stand still e.g. water-pumps production, vehicle making.
  • To a small extent, computers may lead to redundancy. Clerical work may become more straightforward to perform by using specially designed software.
