Post #5 - Computers in the Workplace

My industry of choice for this week’s discussion is the United States Military. To improve the success and capacities of the armed forces, computers play a significant role.

Countless amounts of information necessary for military operations are gathered, processed, stored, and distributed via computers. This contains information on the whereabouts of the adversary, intelligence reports, logistical data, and more.

To provide accurate location monitoring, route planning, and targeting, computers are integrated into GPS and navigation systems.

Computers are necessary for both executing cyber operations and protecting against cyber threats. They are essential in defending military networks and carrying out cyberattacks when needed.

On the battlefield and in military hospitals, computers help manage medical records, perform tests, and direct medical procedures.

For military personnel to carry out their jobs in a technologically enhanced and data-driven military environment, computer literacy is essential. It helps to protect sensitive data and systems from online threats while improving communication, decision-making, and overall operational readiness.

Also, many tech programs and platforms in the military are outdated, if we have folks that can enhance and improve our dated tech processes, then hopefully we can save time and become more efficient.

I predict that the military will experience major improvements in computer hardware, operating systems, and networking over the next ten years. These advancements will influence a number of military operations, including communication, cybersecurity, data analysis, autonomy, and more, ultimately improving the efficiency and adaptability of armed forces. They will, however, also pose further difficulties in terms of security and flexibility in the face of shifting technological environments.

Certain repetitive and routine operations may be replaced by automation and improved technology, which could result in job displacement. This is especially true for tasks that follow simple rules or require human work.
