Whilst some people curse computers for going wrong, the truth is
that they are integral to our modern life - both from a social and
business point of view. From the time they were invented they have been
speeding up the way we do things and helping us connect quickly and
easily across the world.
The modern computer is not only amazing because of the processing power it has or the amount of data it can store - it is also amazing because of the internet which was developed to aid the way people use computers.
The internet is a free resource where anyone can contribute and access information. The information is returned quickly to the user, usually via a search engine such as Google. Research is possible by anyone into just about any subject imaginable.
Computers have sped up the pace at which we can live our modern lives. Complex calculations can be done in seconds and word processing can be done easily. This has helped speed up the pace of work. Information is easily copied and backed up and it can be sent at speed.
Computers have enabled us to connect globally. We can see a website from a company on the other side of the world and even do business via e-commerce sites at any time of the day or night.
We connect via social networking sites and email and this allows people to keep in touch like never before. People can join a forum and discuss specialised topics or they can create a blog and talk about their subject of choice.
The integration of computers with other devices has pushed the usefulness of computers into new areas. They can be found in smart phones, cars, medical equipment, simulators and much more.
Another benefit of computers is that they have cut down the amount of paper that we need. E-mails can be read on the screen, whereas letters would previously be sent. E-cards can be sent instead of traditional ones and information can be stored on computer hard drives rather than on paper.
The computer has revolutionised our world, as has those things associated with it such the internet, software and hardware, and the computer will continue to advance and change our lives for years to come.
