Abstract
It is safe to say that the introduction of computers into contemporary workplaces has fundamentally altered the productivity landscape across all sectors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between computer technology and productivity, examining both the positive and negative effects of this connection. Through an examination of the role computers play in optimising processes, improving communication, and enabling automation, the study illustrates how digital technologies have contributed to increased production and efficiency. In addition, it addresses the obstacles, which include dependence on technology, concerns over cybersecurity, and the potential for distractions related to work. To present a well-rounded perspective on the ways in which computers have transformed work environments, this study aims to conduct a comprehensive assessment of case studies, empirical data, and theoretical frameworks. According to the findings, although computers are a catalyst for considerable advances in productivity, the impact of these machines depends on proper management, adaptation, and the optimisation of technology resources.
