6. Understanding the Advantages Computers Provide to the Supervisor Manager There is an old Chinese saying May you live in interesting times PC users are living in very interesting technological times Over the past couple of years there have been dramatic changes in our computing environment and each of these changes brings to the supervisor manager increased flexibility It is important that you first understand the impact computers have had on our daily lives Second you should have some knowledge of the computer itself and the language associated with it And last understand where this technology is going and how it affects you and your future NOTE Show viewgraph 2 The Four Areas of Computers 1 First there is not a day that goes by where you are not affected by some form of computer automation from starting your car in the morning to using the telephone There are four distinct categories of Computers They are Super Computers Main Frame Computers Mini Computers and Micro Computers Super Computers are mainly used by government and science oriented organizations There cost is usually over 100 mill Main Frame Computers are used businesses that have a need for processing huge amounts of information for example Ford Motor Company Wall mart or business of similar size They range in prize from 200 k to 100 mill Mini Computers are computers used by mid size businesses which use them for managing all their employee re
