COMPUTER OPERATORS control and monitor the operations of computer hardware systems, including minicomputers, networks of personal computers (PCs), and mainframes, ensuring efficient use. Meeting the demand of computer networking or multi-user systems, Computer Operators are working on PCs and minicomputers, applying the same tasks as those performed on larger computers. Automation has also changed the nature of an Operator's job. As technology continues to advance, Computer Operators will monitor an automated system.
