How are computers changing the workplace?

Off-site, written communication speeds have increased. Email is near instantaneous, while before computers, any written communication had to be carried by messenger.
Less person to person contact—Email can now be widely used instead of a meeting or even a phone call.
Improved efficiency—This is debatable, but when it comes to something like searching for a large number of files or a huge spreadsheet for a particular number, a computer can do it faster than a room full of humans looking through reams of paper.
