Some work I was doing in class; people's roles in a computer system, also what people use computers for...
Past
|
Present
|
Future
|
Not as many people
used computers or had access to them
|
More access for
people at home, computers are no longer used just at work
|
Computers will
continue to be made to be used for
larger audiences and larger groups of people
|
The types of people
who used computers were very different to the people who have access to them
today
|
Games are more
accessible and can be played by a wider audience, thus enabling computers to
be used by a younger audience
|
More types of people
will have access to computers and have reasons to use them. People with
different attributes and personalities as well as jobs
|
Accountants, Business
people, Less home computers

I don't know how useful it might be, as most of it just came from my head, but for some more information, try some of these sites;
Wikipedia - yes I know it's wikipedia, but it does help to explain an example of a role in a computer system
Education.com - ways that people use computers today are very different from in the past and possibly in the future
Hope this helps someone... or maybe just gets someone thinking
Clocks again
I need to get a better image...
V,
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to link to some archival images which show people using technology in the past or present. Future might be a bit harder to define. For example: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/lecy0013/architecture/old-computer-thumb.jpg

It is great that most of what you wrote came from your head, but please try and add a spoonful of research when we are doing these learning tasks!
