Economic impact and working practices, deskilling

IT has impacted economically and on working practices by jobs being created and destroying old jobs. The old jobs are either useless for modern day or they are taken over by machines/IT. The reason for this is machines are faster and rarely able to make mistakes. Some of the mistakes are that of human error e.g. the client putting the wrong thing in self-checkout. Even though people can make mistakes on things it still can be easier to buy things plus it could be quicker. Another good thing is that self-service is done independently which is easier but it can have errors so it’s not quick which make going to a normal checkout faster.
