Mobile Computing in Workplace

A recent Canadian study showed that “31 percent of working consumers think they will be working from a home office 60 percent envision artificial intelligence and robotics assisting with their job tasks. 59 percent believe they will be able to access work data through facial or voice recognition” (Thomas, K., 2014, September 22). With technology’s fast-moving pace in its ability to run and perform we stand to wonder whether more jobs will be created over lost with the capacity of mobile computing acquiring new performance abilities that could stand to aid us a great deal in our workplace, or take over certain areas of work cutting out need for humans to execute those tasks like data entry.
The workplace almost becomes a return base and we are capable of performing the same tasks on the go and from other locations same as we would from our office space. This concept is discussed in a BBC news article on the workplace of 2025 stating ” In the future, we’ll reshape surfaces without touching them, interact with documents, or create objects that can then be 3D printed. Because of these changes, workforces will become far more dispersed. Workers will have diverse careers in many different locations, working for shorter periods on projects. In many cases, the people working in this way will not even know each other’s identities” (Heraghty, M. 2012, September 20).
