| Abstract |
The use of new technologies to achieve a high degree of flexibility in production leads to higher visual strain and perceptional demands. It increases the need for working in shifts and at irregular hours. The gap between job requirements and skills of older employees widened. Mental and emotional stress increase with higher levels of responsibility. The working conditions created by new technologies are illustrated by the example of producing a live television show. |
