“Always have the sun in your heart” is said, but when the heart is blue it does not rise the sun.
Recently the word DTP has become commonplace, probably not a workplace that does not do DTP.
- What is DTP?
- Desktop Publishing. Publishing may be an exaggerated expression, because the content is desktop printing.
Works of printing, binding and editing were processed in analog form in the past. It was carried out by the hand of man. Prints were made with fingertips and eyes. Through the introduction of computers, they became very efficient.
First of all, paper is a lot of trouble at the time of work, but the work site is troubled at the site, but it became data by digitizing, so that work space became wider.
From 20 years to 30 years ago, I heard that there was a dissenting opinion when computers began to be introduced to the site of printing, editing, and plate making. “Such a toy is useless.” Especially editing · prepress · printing was a craftsmanship world, so many artisans do not believe in new things.
Next, as you can see from actual analog photographs, the color grain is completely different between digital and analog. Analog is continuous, but in the case of digital, the color changes stepwise. Also, analogs could express deep colors and textures, but in digital it could not. There was a limit.
Nonetheless, the reason why DTP became popular,
- Space saving
- It does not need craftsmanship
- Easy to convey technology
I wonder if it was these three points. in addition,
- Computer became cheap
Well, as for that DTP, I think that introducing a computer definitely shortens the time, reduces the space and reduces the number of personnel, and the training cost has also decreased, but,
Have the working people become easy?
There is a theory that it will not change. This is not just the paper media industry.
First of all, as a small example, waiting time will be generated for at least 10 seconds, longer than 1 minute or more until the computer is switched on and ready for use. Every morning it happens. If I accumulate the waiting time throughout the year it is a lot of time loss.
Although this is a common example, besides that, the paper media industry is not an academic organization but an organization for profit purpose,
- Labor saving
- Labor saving
- Resource saving
These results increase work.
If you calculate easily, the work time will be three times as much as the work time becomes one third. If luck is bad, the workload will be more than three times more to return debt of capital investment.
This calculation can also be applied to machine tools. With the introduction of NC, semi - automated machine tools have been able to reduce the number of operators sticking to them. Did workers get easier by introducing NC? It is not so. Assuming that the amount of work done by the operator is one-third, the operator can make three times as much work as ever. Specifically, it can be handled by three machine tools.
After all, the tenacity of the working people does not change. No, is not it more than that?
I think that craftsmanship can demonstrate individual talent, and if you put it in a big way of saying, it is a “field you can play”. Individuals can relatively freely reflect their preferences for work that depends entirely on individual technologies. It can be said that there is room for ingenuity rather than playing. Of course, the artisan’s world is tough. Every day, craftsmen must upgrade their skills. So, craftsmen train while keeping themselves patiently and they will produce results with actual work. It is a tough world. However, I think that it is fun after all get used to it. Technology does not tell a lie. You do not have to lower your head if there is certain technology. That is a craftsman.
And it’s not just technical field. Even in customer service and office work, if an individual has certain skills, no one will condemn the person. Is not it such a thing?
Especially in a company organization, you can do anything if you can work. If you hit a home run, you can play later. This will be quite rough, but I think it is. It is said that “staked piles are struck”, but nobody strikes a pile that can effectively work.
It is over today. goodbye.
Well, for that, it is important to go to bed early in the evening. I’m only sleepy after spending time.
