• 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. Although this may happen, it never materialized to the great degree forecasted in the beginning of the 80s when the first technology boom was at its peak.
