Impact on social life (1)

Social lives are not affected greatly by new and improved working styles, but they still seem to come in handy when considering group tasks and completing these to an effective standard. Below, I have identified and explained a number of the advantages regarding the impact on lives by improved working styles.
  • Tasks can be completed faster, so more time for social life
              - People can complete tasks relatively quicker using modern working styles, for example by word processing essays instead of handwriting them. This ultimately means that people would have more time for other tasks or socialising with friends.
  • Group tasks can be completed efficiently without the requirement of collaborators to be in the same room
              - In the modern age, group tasks can be completed without all co-operators being situated in the same room. This is because the collaborators can instantly send documents and files over to each other through a number of different services such as instant messaging or email. Also, some software such as Google Drive allow for users to work on the same document simultaneously, where all changes or additions to a document can be seem instantaneously as they occur. This makes it so that users do not have to organise when they meet up to complete an assignment – they can do it from wherever they live.
