T2 - Employment & Business Impacts

Increased Home Working

Home working is increasing because organisations have seen the benefits it can have when their employees are working in an environment they are more comfortable in.

Some employers think this could affect organisations in a negative way because the employees are not monitored and due to them not being monitored they could be doing something else during their work hours instead of working if they were being monitored within the organisation.


Reduction In The Number Of Unskilled & Low Skilled Jobs

With organisations around the world looking to automate a lot of unskilled and low skilled jobs, this means that those who are working in an unskilled or low skilled job will most likely end up being replaced by a robot and those people will be out of a job and finding it difficult to find another place to work for.

For example, a mobile phone could connect to certain systems in a home, like the new smart central heating. This can allow someone to turn the heating on before they get home, so they do not have to turn up to a cold home and wait for it to warm up.

T2 - Ethical Issues

The Digital Divide With a lot of modern services now adopting the use of the internet, people who have no access to it are at a great disadvantage compared to those who have access. When someone who has never used the internet has to use a device that relies on it, this can cause a lot of confusion and it will be near impossible for that user to use the device. This can mainly be a problem for people living in developing nations where digital technology is near non-existent. This divide can also be seen in developed nations between the rich and the poor and between those who live in the cities and those who live in rural areas. While people in developing nations would have little to no internet access, poor and rural living people in developed nations would have very slow internet access, for some, no access at all.
