Реферат: Computers And Technology Essay Research Paper There
most part, the most technologically advanced any of them were was
merely punching prices into a cash register, hardly a state-of-the-art
process by any means. Most of the jobs I have worked at were more
labor-oriented jobs, so I suppose that is why this is kind of a change
for me. These days I wait tables at a local bar and grill. I have
worked at restaurants like this before, but none of those places were
dependent on a computer like this one is. For example, at my old job,

a cook at one time, there was nothing that got on my nerves more than
trying to read the handwriting of someone who had to take an order in

for always being so critical and not worrying about themselves.
Eventually the person who is effected most by all of this is the
customer. What happens is the cook finally just doesn’t care about
the order anymore and doesn’t prepare a good meal, or the server gets
ticked off at the cook and ends up taking out their frustration on the
