    How Computers Impact Everyday Life

    The advent of technologies specifically the development of information and


    communications technology has changed the lives of people. Computers, for
    example, permeate everyday life as they are used in various fields-in schools,
    malls, and hospitals, among others. The following areas show how computers
    have made such an impact.

    Education
    With the use of computers, teachers can do
    research and enhance their teaching
    materials. They can join online forums and
    conferences and gain new ideas and learn
    from the latest research findings and trends.
    ICT in general has made things convenient
    and efficient for teachers, students,
    researchers, and school administrators.
    Electronic learning (e-learning) is the newest
    teaching methodology in which students and
    teachers can communicate and collaborate
    with each other through online discussion of
    their lessons, activities, and examinations,
    Such examples are Blackboard, Edmodo,
    Moodle, etc.

    banking

    Workforce Industry

    Computers are used to expedite


    production planning and control
    systems to support chain
    management, and to facilitate
    product design in the industrial
    sector. The use of ICT can be
    perceived as a threat to assembly-
    line and factory workers as robots
    or machines take over their jobs.

    Computer operated machines

    Electronic Commerce
    Customers or clients use computers to
    communicate with sellers. This method
    can save time and cost as consumers
    do not have to go physically to any
    outlets or department stores. Suppliers,
    on the other hand, use computers in
    keeping track of their transactions
    which include the monitoring of
    inventory
    Electronic commerce of simply e-
    commerce helps boost the economy.
    E-commerce markets: Zalora, Lazada, Shopee, With computers, internet, and shared
    Amazon, OLX.ph and many others software as the main tools needed,
    buying and selling activities are made
    easier, more efficient, and faster.

    Hospitals

    The use of computers in hospitals offers
    many benefits to both doctors and
    patients. Hospitals are creating patients'
    databases of health records, treatment
    records, and medical records. Also, with
    the help of ICT, doctors use computers
    and various medical applications not
    only for research advancement but also
    for faster diagnosis of patients'
    illnesses.

    Government
    A government provides society with
    direction by making and administering
    policies. To provide citizens with up-to-
    date information, most government
    offices have Web sites. People file
    taxes, apply for permits and licenses,
    pay parking tickets, buy stamps, report
    crimes, apply for financial aid, and
    renew vehicle registrations and driver's
    licenses.

    Science
    All branches of science, from biology
    to astronomy to meteorology, use
    computers to assist them with
    collecting, analyzing, and modelling
    data. Scientists also use the Internet
    to communicate with colleagues
    around the world.
    Breakthroughs in surgery, medicine,
    and treatments often result from
    scientists' use of computers. Tiny
    computers now imitate functions of
    the central nervous system, retina of
    the eye, and cochlea of the ear. A
    cochlear implant allows a deaf
    person to listen.
