The Impact of Office Automation
The computer is changing the office environment much like the automobile has changed the city.Effectively integrated office automation systems may result in the restructuring of entire organizations,with the emergence of new structural configurations and the elimination of departments or entire divisions.The new information technologies have led to a large reduction in the size of the average organization's middle ranks.Moreover,the workers who remain are no longer tied to a centrally located office:telecommuting has become a new trend in the business world.On the positive side,this trend enables individuals to work from the comfort of home; on the negative side,this lack of a common office environment may contribute to the erosion of the city core.The new technologies may also have the potential to strengthen the power of trans-national corporations in Canada,contributing to the erosion of Canadian autonomy and displacing many people whose jobs will be automated.In most organizations office automation has been viewed as a means to computerize old procedures and to make employees more productive,rather than to make the organization more effective.
There is a rising level of fear of the new technologies and the impact they will have on job security and on the privacy of the individual (see COMPUTERS AND SOCIETY).There is also concern that the Canadian ECONOMY will suffer greatly if Canadian organizations do not develop and adapt to the new technologies.Whether or not Canadian industry will learn to use information technologies to their advantage in the increasingly competitive world system remains to be seen.It is safe to say,however,that the technologies will have a significant impact on the working lives of millions of Canadians in the coming decades.

下面是这段的前面部分,因不能一次发完,只好分开翻译了~
正如汽车改变了城市一样,电脑正在改变着办公环境.随着新的结构组成的出现和部门或者整个分支的出现,高效的办公室自动化系统可能将重组整个办公室机构.新兴的信息科技技术将使中等规模的组织机构范围大幅缩小.而且,工人将不在局限于一个中心办公室,通信交流已成为了商业世界的新潮流.从正面看,这个潮流能让工作个体在家舒服地工作,相反的一面是普通工作环境的缺失将使侵蚀城市的核心.新兴的技术让加拿大的自主性变小,使很多人的工作变得自动化,跨国企业的实力也随之增强.在大部分的组织机构里,办公自动化已被视为让旧有程序电脑化和员工更有价值而非让整个机构更有效率的方式.
而有些人却对新兴科技的恐惧与日俱增,担心它会危及职业的安全和个人的隐私.(参见“电脑和社会”章节)人们也认为如果加拿大的企业不能发展和采用新兴技术的话,将大大影响加拿大的经济.加拿大企业能否利用信息科技在世界中提高其竞争力还是未知数.但是可以肯定的是,这些科技将在未来的十年内对加拿大几百万的工作群体产生巨大的影响.
