The Use of Computers in Today's Society

Computers are a vital part of the world in which Americans live. They have become very important in business, entertainment, communication, education, economy, and media. They have literally changed the way that Americans live their lives.

One way computers are important is in the business world. They help with inventory management, presentations and documents, and electronic communications. We are more organized when we use computers and we can keep all of our files on a computer.

Another way they are used is for entertainment: music, games, and social networks. Pandora and Youtube can be used to listen to music. Websites for social media such as:  Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Tumblr, and many more.

A third way computers are used is for communication. We can use computers to communicate with people all over the world. Video chatting is even available now. You can use the program “Skype” to video chat with others, or you can also type messages, or call with this program.

Computers also have a big impact on education. College students can now take online courses. Students can get their degrees off online courses. Home schooled students can also get their education online. There are so many online programs. Computers help with homework, when you can’t find an answer or you need help with math, there are videos that teachers have made to help students.

Another big impact computers have is on the economy. You can buy items off the internet, and you can even sell items on the internet. Many people have online stores or they have an eBay account.

Computers help a lot with finding out news. If you need to find out the latest news you can just search. Computers help a lot with research.

Computers themselves have changed and progressed over time and Americans have continued to change with them. All aspects of people’s daily lives are affected by changes and will continue to be influenced by computer technology

How we are affected by technology

In this video Steve Jobs, deceased inventor and owner of apple, tells us how technology has affected our lives. He talks about the communication available now and how iTunes has affected us. He tells us how our technology is used as tools to help us in our everyday life. How we can take videos now at college and go back and takes notes on what our professor has taught us.

  

 

In this picture is shows an old computer. It shows how much our technology has changed over the years. This is a very old computer. It used to be used in past years, now we have much better technology that we use. Computers have changed very much over the years. This was the most popular computer in Sweden. More than 10,000 of these were sold in less than 2 years.

 This is a modern day computer. It is an apple product. It shows us how much computers have changed over the years. They have changed in looks and also they have better software and can do and accomplish many more things. They have faster speed and they can hold a lot more storage. Computers these days are so wonderful and amazing. It’s amazing what they can do.  

I chose this picture because I believe it shows all the different possibilities and uses for today’s technology. It shows how technology affects our business world and education. Technology is so helpful with education and business these days. It makes things much easier and helps us understand different things. Schools are starting to use ipads and other technology  instead of textbooks.

In this video, this woman is explaining how technology can affect us. It is a wonderful thing but it could also be a bad thing. People use technology to bully others and cause fights. You can also get viruses on your computer or you could possibly get hacked. You must be careful when using the internet, be careful what websites you go to and who you communicate with.
