Economic impact and working practices, de-skilling

IT has had a big impact on the economy as it has increased the amount of ways that people can pay for things in shops like they can scan their credit/debit card on a machine instead of having to enter a pin number. Also people are losing jobs because machines and computers are taking over jobs and machines are becoming smarter than humans so they will take over the jobs around the world. The jobs that have been de-skilled are jobs like accountants as now they don’t have to do as much maths as they can use things like Microsoft Excel and use money counters which helps them. Also, machines are taking over car manufacturing as well as the machines are making the cars automatically. Work practices have changed as people don’t speak to each other to get help as much anymore as they can find solutions on the internet.
