Computer Essentials

Computers are used for a wide range of purposes from storage of confidential information, reading books and watching movies to ordinary Internet surfing. In addition to that, computers are used in a wide range of industries. Doctors use computers to perform difficult operations, pilots use computers to operate airplanes. Computers are also used to launch space ships.

I have a laptop. I use it to prepare different reports, essays and presentations. I often use it to go online and look for the information I need. I also use it for studying. For example, at the moment I am doing an online course. It is a Photoshop course which is specially designed for beginners. They teach us what the software is about and how to use it.

Apart from a laptop I also have a tablet. So, even when I am away I can still contact my friends, read books and check my email. I can also take pictures using my tablet or connect to Wi-Fi. I have my profile on social networks, just like most of other people. With the help of the computer and Internet I can get in touch with those of my friends who live far away.

It is difficult to imagine our life without computers. There are people who think that influence of computers on our life is destructive because people are now living in their own virtual world. However, without computers and Internet we wouldn’t have an opportunity to stay in touch with those who are far away – parents, partners or childhood friends. We wouldn’t have access to a lot of resources which can help us study, gain new knowledge and improve our skills. We should remember about these opportunities as we only have them because we have computers.
