Computers in the Workplace

How important are computers in your workplace?

 I want to talk about the industry I am in.  I work for the Government managing their class V supplies.  So, I would say I am more like their logistics manager for this supply class.  I use a minimum graded computer which is just a desktop.  Most of my business deals with internet type programs by the government.  I must use two different web-based programs.  One is on the green side and other is red.  If you are in the military, we all know what that means.  Both systems give me the ability to download reports into an excel program where I can manipulate the data.  I can get rid of columns or cells not needed.  I can create formulas to make the data make sense.  I can create expenditure reports using the data from my systems.  I also use word processing daily to write reports and to request ammunition.  The positive thing about using government computer is that the online programs do not upgrade until the military upgrades their systems first.  The computers that are issued by the government go through a life cycle rotation.  After so many years they become outdated, and they replace them with a new current updated system.  There is no use of external devices like headphones, hard drives, cameras, or speakers.  Everything is monitored by the cyber security team.  Computers is very import tool of my job, I must order ammunition, track expenditures, track inventory, and report miss fires and accidents.  Most of everything I use a computer for is because everything is online.  The Microsoft programs I use just to make my daily operation more user friendly.
