Advantages of Computers
Hi
Because of the many advantages of a computer, it has become an important household item. A computer operated by an individual without any specific computer operator is called as a personal computer (PC). A PC can be a desktop or a laptop computer and can be used at home or at office. As per the requirement of the user, softwares are installed in a PC. Let’s discuss the advantages of computers.
One can write more effectively by means of a computer. There are tools like spelling and grammar checker, thesaurus and dictionary, installed in the computer. Thus, it takes less time to proofread a written document and also, there is no need to open up a dictionary book to look for meanings of words. Typing is much faster than writing on a paper. If there is a need for reorganizing the sentences or paragraphs, one can cut and paste and make the necessary changes. Thus, overall a computer allows the user to create documents, edit, print, and store them so that they can be retrieved later.
Using a computer, one can remain connected to the world through Internet. Internet is a network of computers that communicates via the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). The World Wide Web (WWW) or simply web is a huge resource of information that can be accessed via the Internet. To mention a few of the resources, there are electronic mail (e-mail), file transferring and sharing, online chat and gaming. The Internet allows people from around the world to share knowledge, ideas and experiences in any field.
E-mail is a method of communication used globally and is provided with a system of creating, storing and forwarding mails. It may consist of text messages with attachments of audio-visual clips. One can also download or upload files using the Internet. There are also facilities like online chatting available on the Internet. As compared to telephonic conversation, both e-mail and online chat are cost saving. Online gaming is another important resource of the WWW. Many online games are available, which are of common interest for any age group. In addition, one can read current news, check weather conditions, plan vacations and make hotel and travel reservations, find out about diseases and treatment methods, conduct transactions, learn about specific countries and their cultures, seek jobs, buy products, etc via the Internet.
Thanks

Re: Advantages of Computers
Computers and the Internet have changed our lives and even our society since they were first introduced. computers, in rudimentary form, have been around since the abacus, but computers in the modern sense were first developed around the 1940s. The first well-known computer in the United States was ENIAC, the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator. ENIAC took up an entire room, generated quite a bit of heat, and did much less work than a standard PC or laptop of today. Still, for its time, it was a huge leap forward. Computers progressed from punch-card programming to actual written programs with commands built in. Scientists today are working on computers with "artificial intelligence" that can "think" for themselves within defined limits. This development could have huge advantages. Think of a vacuum cleaner that can identify a dusty spot and go back to clean it up, or a dishwasher that identifies when the dishes aren’t quite clean, and runs for another five minutes.
Computers created the "information age", where huge amounts of data could be processed. This has led to many advantages in modern life, including easily balancing your bank statement or brokerage account, using dictionary and encyclopedia programs, even planning and designing a new house is possible on your computer! There is software available for almost any need, and if you have a notebook or laptop computer, those programs can go anywhere you go. From writing a letter to designing a birthday card, there’s nothing you can’t do with a computer.
The Internet has brought even more drastic changes. Using your computer, you can "go online", and access the Worldwide Web (WWW). You can connect to other computers, huge databases, university or county libraries, banks, or your utility company. There’s hardly a bill that can’t be paid online these days – no more licking stamps!
If you have a friend or family member living a long distance away, you can contact them by e-mail for free, saving money in long-distance charges. Movies, songs, and games can be downloaded via the Internet to your computer, and many of them are free, as well. Do your banking online at 2am, or take an online class in math or basket weaving. The Internet has truly revolutionized how we connect with other people, as well as businesses.
There’s not one area of our lives that computers and the Internet have not affected. While there are things to watch out for, overall most people agree that the huge advantages that have come from computers and the Internet far outweigh any disadvantages.

Re: Advantages of Computers
Advantages of Computers Computer is one of the major inventions we have seen in our life. Initially long and tough calculations could not be solved by calculators of hands or other devices. We needed something extra powerful to perform the task of calculations and hence process the data into meaningful results. So with the invention of computers, our problems were solved and it began to be used in various business purposes, home purposes, even scientific and educational purposes. Today, computers have become a part of our life and we are so addicted to it that without it we will have to suffer a great loss in our life.
Over the past few years, computers have become a vastly popular household and office item. The luxury of emailing messages as opposed to charging up the phone bill is more appealing. Even the accessibility of emails is being preferred by people rather than our so called “snail-mail”. Checking news, weather, and sports information via the internet by the use of computer is more convenient than waiting for it to be aired in the television. Today, computers are everywhere and are used in everything. The very main reason for its main stay is being efficient, dependable, accurate and fast.
Thanks
