INTRODUCTION
1.0 Background of the Study
At this time, the advancement in office technology and management by computer had brought tremendous changes to the performance and development to office technology and management. Computer can also be seen as a means of transmitting man’s knowledge of specific scientific law with the help of his/her skills into concrete object or thought in order to bring out changes in the global world. A computer is a machine or tool which is capable of taking input data, storing the input data processing the input data to give output for human use.
Also, there are computers and other office machine, that brings about effectiveness and efficiency to the works and deities of office technology and management e.g. E-mail facilities, shedder, and global system for mobile communication (GSM) note counter e.g. . . .
Some office technology and management recently face drastic technology problem and changes revitalized their company. Computer makes their work more admirable and enjoyable keeping in contact with changes, the recommendation of computer has brought civilization to the input and output of office technology and management. To be candid, the invention of computer has replace may concept in office technology and management and it has wonderfully develop the system of reprographic process and increase production of work in today’s office technology and management.
Therefore, computer has made it very easy for office technology and management to develop rapidly as a result of its arrival today.
1.1 Statement of the Problem
Today we live in the computer age very little can be accomplished in this era without the use of computer. The use of computer on Office Technology and Management cannot be underestimated. A secretary trained with the antique manual typewriter may not be able to performed in the modern organization. That is why the researcher intend to discover what changes the introduction of the computer may bring into Office Technology and Management.
1.2 Significance of Study
