* Rank them in order of importance
First, transmit information quickly and process information as soon as we receive it because: in the industrialized world today, time is money, these uses can save businessmen millions of dollars lost as well as bring back profits worth million of dollars.
Second, store very large amounts of information because: when the world gets more developed there is much more information on different aspects ( economics, politics, culture, ect ) which needs storing.
Third, send messages from one computer to another and holding long distance meetings in which the participants can see each other on a screen. This can create and tighten the friendship and fellowship in particular and better the relationship of people around the world as a whole.
Next, the use of sending TV programs to other countries, which is useful as regards the exchange matters.
- Finally, design houses, bridges, gardens and buildings. With the help of it, the work gets much quicker and better.
