I clearly remember the time when the first computer appeared at the workplace. People were not happy about it and rightly feared for their jobs. The computer invasion made many people redundant; they had to learn to perform other tasks.

Even today, the majority of people have no great use for computers, even in the professional sector. At first, the most important thing on the computer was writing. I had great difficulties to get my hands on additional programs for composing and editing pictures, sound recording, or film production, as very few people knew about them. Nowadays, many programs are even sold in department stores or at the supermarket. In this stadium of evolution with the computer, it is apparent that man is slowly but surely becoming replaced.
