In today's society we are a technologically dependent era. Everything we seem to use that's electronic tends to have some computer or a computer software application to help run it. If technology, more so computers, were to be disabled for a day, I feel it would be impossible to function for that day, we never really realize how much technology play a part in our everyday lives. Computers have become very important in today's world because they a very accurate, quick and can handle many tasks very quickly. Without computers, to finish some of the tasks we take for granted using computers, can take much more time to do manually. From doing very massive calculations, to storage of data and surfing the internet, to just name a few things, computers are basically everything. A Computer is defined as; an electronic device that performs four basic operations: input, processing, output, and storage. Computers are very useful for various everyday functions. They can be loaded with different applications to perform the different functions. Very useful for work or just for recreation to making different projects. Computers are used to; type documents, send emails, play games, browse the web, create spreadsheets, presentations and videos.
As time progresses computer manufacturers tend to keep upgrading their software to stay up to date with current software and technology. A PC from the 1990's wouldn't be half as advanced as a brand new 2015 PC. For an example, a 1995 PC would be very different than a 2012 PC, it's not brand new but it's newer and differences are still very noticeable. Monitor size would be different. On a 1995 PC, a standard monitor would be a 14" Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT). On the 2012 PC, a standard monitor would be a 22" Wide screen LCD/LED (Liquid-Crystal Display, Light Emitting Diode. Memory would be different as well. The memory on a 1995 PC would be about four Megabytes, on the other hand, on a 2012 PC the memory is around eight Megabytes.
