Progress
• Do you remember when we used:– Pay phones instead of cell phones
– Typewriters
– Carbons in typewriters to make duplicate copies (CC really meant CC)
– Fax machines (and thought they were really neat/confusing)
Paper files and filing cabinets?

Why Computers?
• Make things more complicated than they need to be?
• Streamline recordkeeping
• Eliminate paper (“save a tree”)
Enable you to get more insight into why things are happening, and what
may happen next!

Why Computers?
• The world is moving away from simple conversations and “goodwill intentions”
• The world is pushing us towards “instant compliance” and “no exceptions or judgment calls”
![Page 7: Program Overview Introduction of presenters A little history Why computers? What’s Available Now? Vendor Selection? Real World Usage](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e245503460f94b12a2e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why Computers?
• Think about the world prior to 1985 (ie. CDLs and Drug Testing).
• Compare that to today’s SafeStat and the DOT vision of 2010 (electronic filings and compliance audits?)
What are some of the differences in how we got things done?
