7. COMPUTERS PROBLEMS IN BUSINESS? Accumulation of large amounts of data Glitches and problems to software Too much dependence on computers Decreased productivity in some cases Computer system hacking and cracking Promotion of robots

8. SOLUTIONS Effective ways to store data and back up plans for software Software renewal and test control Back up plan if computers vanish or become useless Software to record worker activity or reward for productive workers Better security software and more advanced software handlers Increase human productivity. Seminars on task automation, time management

9. PROBLEM CONTINUITY IN FUTURE? More effective ways to store data and make data collection, retrieval and access faster. Attention on updating software and software control No change  Moving into IOT era More strict to unproductive employees No change  Governments, organizations, different causes continue to exist and emerge Bigger problem. People getting fired. Many things done by robots
