What are the pros and cons of computers in the professional business world today?

hundreds of ways. For example:

computers make it faster to sort and find information

to communicate information with others

to create automatic "paper trail" of transactions

reduce amount of manual labor of data input and tracking

reduce size of document storage

enable ordinary people to do complex calculations quickly

bad things computers do

only give you the answers they were programmed to give

require hardware and software maintenance

concentrate sensitive information in one place

allow massive data theft unless properly protected

difficult to have communication and good security at same time

built-in obsolescence requires period upgrades or new systems

are extremely unreliable unless designed with backup systems

require "clean" electrical power, which not everyone has

may be difficult to train new people or to upgrade skills

reliance upon support staff who actually know how things work

not always as flexible or agile when needs change
