Why have most large businesses become completely depended on computers?
Computers in the modern world.
Computers play a very important part in our life. They help people in their work and studies. They save us a lot of time. While at school I often made use of the Internet to collect information for my test papers and compositions.
Computers give access to a lot of information. It is possible to find data and descriptions, chapters from necessary books… to make a long story short, everything you need.
Computers have been around for about fifty years or so. ENIAC, the first great electronic computer, was built in the 1940th; it was the size of a large house, was limited in power and was unreliable. But computers developed quickly. Today computers sit comfortably on our desks and have much more power than those original machines. In the last ten years or so, most large businesses have become completely dependent on computers for storing and looking at information, for writing and for calculating financial and mathematical information.
Computers within a single office or building may be connected, and they therefore form a network. Users of computers on a network can send messages to each other, utilizing the same collections of data or information. In many offices and organizations computer messages have replaced messages written on paper, and they are now called e-mail or electronic mail. E-mail is not only fast and easy (if you understand how to use the computer), but it also saves paper and the work of moving paper from one place to another. Workers can send and receive e-mail without leaving their desks and their desktop computers.
? Disadvantages?
There are some disadvantages, of course. Computer can get viruses. Sometimes the wrong people can make use of the information available in the wrong way. Computers become out-of-date very quickly, they need to be replaced.
How do you use the e-mail?
Step 1
Open up your internet browser and pick an email program to use. The big ones are Gmail, Yahoo! and MSN Hotmail. Go to one of these websites and sign up for an email account. This usually involves picking a personal email address, choosing a password and entering some other information like your name or zip code.
Step 2
Gather email addresses of people you know and put them in your contacts list. Each email program should have a "Contacts" section, so click on that and start typing in email addresses. Having all your contacts in your email account will make it easier to write emails later--you won't have to manually type in the person's email address every time!
Step 3
To start using email, sign in with your email address and password from your email program's website. You can go to each email program's home page and then click "Email" or save the email sign-in webpage to your bookmarks. Once you've signed in, you'll see your inbox. This is where you'll see emails that people send you.
Step 4
To write an email, click the "Compose Mail" or "Write an Email" link. You'll see a page with a bunch of empty boxes on it. In the first box "To:" you'll put the person's email address you're sending the email to. Then choose a subject, and finally, write your email in the big box. When you're done, click send.
Step 5
You might want to send a mass email to all your contacts letting them know of your new email address. Each email program is slightly different in sending emails to multiple people. There should be a link to your contacts near the "To" box (Yahoo has a link called "Insert addresses.") You'll check a box next to each contact's name to add them to an email.
Step 6
In order to read emails that are sent to you, all you have to do is click on the email subject. If you want to send an email you received to someone else, this function is called "Forward." All you have to do is click the "Forward" button for most email programs and then click "Send."
Step 7
You'll also see a "Trash" link in your email inbox. This is where you can put emails that you don't want to look at anymore. It's like the Trash option on your computer where you can delete files. Put emails you don't need anymore in the Trash, and empty the Trash when it gets too full.
What disadvantage of computers do you know?
Time sink and lots of distractions
Although a computer can increase your productivity, it also can waste a lot of your time. ... Also, with the popularity of social networks and notifications, you can become easily distracted while you are trying to work
