Question 4-week 7

Routine production workers (data processors, payroll clerks), in person service workers (janitors, taxi drivers) and symbolic analysts (software engineers, strategic planners). These categories are different from blue and white collar divisions because first 2 use internet in routine ways, whereas the last makes use of ICT for analysis and interpretation of data, etc. The old school of labeling workers as either blue or white collared no longer holds true, and these two very broad categories have now been split into the more specified roles, or categories. In today’s society, virtually everyone uses technology; however the specifications of how and to what extent these people use the technologies vary. For example a taxi driver uses technology but not to the extent that a data processors has to on a day to day basis. Some fields have technology assisting them in their jobs and others couldn’t function without technology.
