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
