Today computers uses can be traced down to every aspect of life. They are a tool, and much like any tool, simplify the things we do. The amazing thing about computers is that they are not just used for one thing; computers affect the way we work, write, play, and communicate.
Computers can easily allow us to write a story, create a database, play a game of chess, or send instant messages and email to friends.
Computers simplification of work has quite a few advantages, namely for it's purpose of writing. Computers allow us to, in most cases write much faster than ever before. They provide us with a thesaurus, dictionary, and spellchecker all in one, something that saves a lot of time for writers. Also, typing in general is quicker than handwriting a paper. After about a year of experience most people can type quickly and efficiently. Additionally, mistakes don't have to be crossed out. With computers we can simply hit the backspace. Then, if you are un-organized and happen to put some things in the wrong order, instead of re-writing or drawing in an arrow, you could just cut and paste. But simplification of writing on computers isn't a perfect. While I tend to favor computers use for writing, they generally degrade our grammar. This is because we get so used to having it fixed for us, that we don't learn from our mistakes. I still remember once seeing one of my friends handwrite a paper and accidentally write the word "u" instead of "you.".
Computers in the workplace are generally good. They allow first for the easy writing mentioned above, which is key to any business; as time is money. But they also have good programs that allow workers to perform such tasks as: databases, advertisement creation, digital video editing, sound and music editing, commercial creation, and much more. But computers are an expensive luxury for big businesses. Buying a roomful of computers for all of your workers - a necessary component of business in order to compete - can be an expensive task.
