The modern workplace is full of technology and the modern workplace would not be able to operate without the use of technology. The technology we use in the workplace ranges from the personal computer sitting on our desks and all the programmers is contains, like word processors, spreadsheets and presentations, to the communications technologies that enable us to do business with the client next door and the client on the other side of the world.

Technology needs to be used by employees at all levels of a company, from the highest managers to newest administration staff. Of course, how these people use technology is different. The manager will need to write prepare and deliver presentations on a regular basis. To do this the manager will need the use of presentation software, perhaps spreadsheet software to make use of charts, graphs and diagrams, and display equipment to show their presentation to a client or colleagues.

The newest administration recruited to an organization will more than likely need to be able to use a word processor, input data into a spreadsheet or database and respond to emails.

However technology is used, every strata of a business needs to make use of technology.

Then, of course, the internet throws up new and interesting applications every day. It is often people in the workplace that find uses for these applications to benefit businesses. Who would have thought that social networking or micro-blogs would have such a large impact and benefit on business and changed the workplace so much?
