Uses of Computer

Today, the computer is everywhere. We can find them in homes, schools, supermarkets, banks and factories.
Many homes and schools now have personal computers (PCs).These computers are used for educational purposes such as typing lesson notes or homework and learning mathematics, science and so on. Another important use of the computer is Internet. People use it to search for information or communicate with one another through e-mail. In homes, computers are also used for entertainment purposes such as playing video games, listening to music and watching movie.
However, when we think of the computer, we should not only think of the personal computer. There are also tiny computers in electrical appliances, calculators and the telephone. These tiny computers help to make modern life more comfortable.
Computers are also used in businesses. Supermarket scanners, for example, make use of computer technology to calculate our bills. In banks, automatic teller machines (ATM) are possible because of computers.
In factories, computers control robots to make cars. It is even possible to fly aeroplanes and spaceships without human beings. Computers are an important part of our modern life. Can you imagine life without computers?
