good old days

Small businesses could use Microsoft Edexcel, and microsoft Access instead of using paper based systems. Edexcel is a very easy way to store information and work out formula very quickly, you can work out any sum you want that involves your numbers. Access is a great way to control databases and keep track of anything you want, it is much more reliable than a person and does not make mistakes.

Both of these programs would be much more efficiant than a person. but the programs still need people to work them so people who were great at typing like secretaries and typists would be able to get jobs which payed greater and meant they did less work.

Paper based systems are not used anymore for a reason, they are very time consuming and people can not be bothered to write anymore. oen advantage is that it can not get a virus which could lose all your documents.
