I've been doing data entry about 18 years. The computers now are so much more sophisticated than they were back then. Back then we worked off IBM cards, the old, clunky, antiquated-type system based on codes. We had to actually put the cards on the wheel. Now with the new system, there will be more training.
Technology just keeps going on and on and more and more, and it's like there's no ending.
I guess the whole idea is making things easier and faster. You can do more in less time, and that's usually the case once you know what you're doing. And if you're already a fast and accurate operator, you can usually keep up the pace. To me, data entry is just a stepping stone in the computer field. Basically, if you can type and you're pretty accurate, you can input data.
