Some benefits of computers
In this modern world, computers have become a very popular and useful tool to our daily activities.
With “lighting” speed and perfect accuracy, a computer can work 500,000 times faster than a normal person can. Besides, it can store a wide range of information for different purposes with its huge memory. Scientists use computers in their experiments, while in trading; people use these machines to organize their business, such as checking sales trends and production needs, making out electronic bills, etc. Furthermore, the development of internet and e-mail has made life easier. People can access huge sources of knowledge from online libraries, or they can keep in touch with relatives and friends living very far away, just with a click.
With all of these benefits, computers are now regarded as a vital part of our life.
