Abstract
In this article, the writer explores the effects of technological change and computerization upon the wage structure in Canada. The paper begins by noting how IT workers have seen their wages rise sharply compared to the wages of other Canadians. The paper also examines how computerization and technological advancement have made many jobs obsolete and the economic implications of technological change for blue-collar workers. Additionally, the paper contemplates the consequences of technological evolution and computerization for working-class men and a brief examination of what the benefits and disadvantages of the new wage structure are for Canada is presented.

From the Paper
"The view of this writer is that technological change in Canada has deepened the cleavages between various groups and that the country is rushing towards a serious crisis if something cannot be done to better facilitate the entry of millions of Canadians into the twenty-first century economy. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of the relationship between technological change and the wage structure of the Dominion that this paper now turns."

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that many aspects of work in the service sector are becoming computerized. The writer discusses that this raises the question of whether this will result in skill increases and an associated decline in underemployment for young people, or whether it will have the opposite effect, in that less people will be required to fill service sector positions.

From the Paper
"Does computerization of work in the service sector result in skill increases and underemployment decline for young people? Some experts think we are heading towards a near worker-less world. It will be argued that the growth of computerization and associated technologies will mean that the service sector will expand, and productivity will skyrocket. Therefore, computerization of work in the service sector will result in skill increases and underemployment ..."

From the Paper
"The advantage of implementing online recruitment is also the wide geographical reach, as mentioned before. This allows international businesses to conduct the recruitment process that much faster. However an organization which had previously been conducting the process through traditional channels will have undertaken a major project of managing change in migrating to the online technology. This is defined as a techno-structural intervention. This requires a considerable level of financial investment which unless aligned to the strategic focus of the company will have been made for nothing."

Abstract
This paper analyzes different aspects of installing a centralized computerized energy management system. The writer discusses that energy management systems (EMS) control energy-consuming equipment in order to make them operate more effectively and efficiently. The writer notes that the main function of an EMS is integrating the supervision, control and management of power production and distribution efforts.

From the Paper
"What is a Centralized Computerized Energy Management System? Energy management systems (EMS) control energy-consuming equipment in order to make them operate more effectively and efficiently. (Energy Design Resources). The main purpose of an EMS, depending on its size, is to control all or some of the process that will generate, transmit, and distribute electric energy efficiently.

Abstract
This paper discusses how computerized medical record-keeping facilitates improved access and transmission of medical information and has been argued as instrumental in ensuring that patients receive appropriate care in a timely manner. This paper then reviews the issues of confidentiality that have emerged from ethical concerns of misuse of patient information at the hands of insurance providers, health care associates, and even physicians themselves.

From the Paper
"Confidentiality in Computerized Medical Records Description of Case Example Dudley (2004) indicated that confidentiality of patient records has been a contended issue in health care since the advent of transforming paper records into digital records. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was designed to alleviate these concerns and was enacted in April of 2003. However, critics and case research indicates that the HIPAA has not done enough in terms of promoting patient confidentiality and fails to protect the patient's medical information, even in areas of interest that are specifically covered by the legislation (Dudley, 2004). Revisions to HIPAA are to go into effect on March 16 of 2006, but it remains uncertain as to whether these revisions will satisfactory resolve the existing disparities in distribution of protected information.
