    Computers have become an integral part of modern life. They can perform calculations faster than humans and remember and process vast amounts of information. While some computers are designed for specific tasks, general-purpose computers can perform a wide range of functions and solve complex problems. Computers continue to get smaller but remain powerful tools. They are used for work, education, communication, and entertainment, but overuse of computers can also have negative health impacts and cause people to waste time.

    Computers in our life

    The greatest gadget that has ever been invented is a computer.


    A computer is really a very specific kind of a counting machine. It can do arithmetic
    problems faster than any person alive. By means of electric processes it finds the answer to a very
    difficult and complicated problem in a few seconds.
    A computer can "remember" information you give it. It keeps the information in its "memory"
    until you need it. There are different kinds of computers. Some can do only one job. There are
    special-purpose computers, built for the particular purpose alone and cannot do anything else. But
    there are some computers that do many different jobs. They are called the general-purpose
    computers. They are the big "brains" that solve the most difficult problems of science. Today
    computers are becoming smaller and smaller. Though these small devices are
    called microcomputers or minicomputers, they are still true computers.
    The most important parts of a computer are the tower, which powers your computer, the
    keyboard, which you use to type, the monitor, which lets you see what you are doing. You will also
    need a printer to print documents, a mouse to click on icons and a modem to connect to the
    Internet. If you want sound, you need to buy some speakers, too. A scanner can be useful to scan
    documents and photos into your computer.
    There are several advantages to using computers at work. First of all, they help people to
    work faster. For example, word processing is much faster than writing by hand and can help you to
    avoid spelling and grammar mistakes. Moreover, employees can organize their work better with a
    computer. One of the disadvantages is that it is not safe to store all your work on a computer.
    Documents can get lost if the computer crashes or breaks down. Also, people lose their jobs as
    computers replace people at work.
    Computers are important in education. First of all, we can learn more with computers. For
    instance, we can use the Net to find information. Furthermore, we develop skills which we can use
    later in life, because most jobs involve using a computer. One of the disadvantages is that it can
    be unhealthy. For example, computer screens can damage children’s eyes and cause headaches.
    In addition, children can waste their time playing games or surfing the Net instead of studying.
    The Internet is a fantastic source of information. It allows us to communicate easily, quickly
    and cheaply. Lots of people use the Internet for shopping. You can buy things from other countries
    and have them delivered to your door.
    More and more people are becoming computer-literate as many programs and machines
    are so user-friendly.
