The computer is making the life more difficult than pre-computer era is mainly because no matter how smartly you build the instructions / rules for computer to run it still the humanly written code that would never be perfect.
Computer runs on formulas and applied the formula without considering the seasonal changes. Even if it is possible to compute a formula to depict the real-life scenarios, it would take huge investment that 99% of population would not able to afford.
E.g. Computer are computing Grocery items prices, computers are computing Salaries, computers are preparing budget, computers are used to propose "Maximum Retail Prices". People are doing calculations on software (e.g. MS Excel) that itself are not error-free plus the knowledge on how to use the MS Excel (constructing formulas) are also not same for every individual. If you applied a minutely erroneous formula to long list of grocery items it will go unchecked by Humans (because human usually checks totals) and if it gets approved by Authority, the population has to bear it. Wide-spread implementation multiplied the impact.
Practical Example:
Cost of Banana $0.99
Consumption of Banana 100,000,000
Authority Approves the Price $1 (because MS Excel rounded off 0.99 to $1)
Now each banana is $0.01 gets expensive (without any reason) increasing the inflation of $1,000,000 unnecessarily.
Companies happily printed the price of $1 on Banana packaging (considering it cost-advantage and higher profits) but the population who will be consuming it will suffer. Such minor $0.01 price-increase will go unnoticed from both end "Consumer" & "Producer".
Note: This is the example of only one-item, do not forget the numerous products we are using on daily basis.
Similarly, previously people write "Postal Address" by ball-pens / pencils now, they are printing it from computer (using Electricity, using computer equipment, using printer, using Paper, Using "Glue to paste it on packet".....it all adds unnecessarily costs, and the consumer has to bear this added costs knowingly or unknowingly
I would really appreciate any thoughts on my perception, whether I am right or wrong?
