Computers are changing the way we work

 The construction industry has seen many changes over the years when it comes to computer technology. The man I call dad has been in the construction industry since before I was born but it is not until recent years that he has needed to learn how to use a computer for work. The industry has used things like blueprints to erect structures from the ground up. Now they are using iPads & tablets on the construction site to guide them while they build these structures. There isn’t a need to use physical blueprints anymore since they can be accessed from a mobile device and with this mobile device many more features can be added. The construction industry can and has benefitted from the information technology industry. The devices they use in the construction industry need to be secure to carry information to the job site and workers there. The devices need to be secure to make sure the information or the device is not compromised. The devices used in the construction industry can use a cloud-based system to access everything they need whenever they need from anywhere, they have access to the internet. All these and more technological advancements will require both industries to continue to have workers that can adapt to these advancements. In the future, I am sure there will be more use of augmented reality for the construction industry so that the people out in the field can build more efficiently. Having these new changes is going to require new devices with new software. With these new devices, there will be a need to get these devices suited for the job. There is mutual benefit for both industries to continue to work together in the years to come to keep the world moving forward.
