We live in the “Computer age”People like scientists, writers and students use computers to do all kinds of work. But more than thirty years ago, computers couldn’t do much. They were very big and expensive. Very few people were interested in them and knew how to use them. Today computers are smaller and cheaper. Since they can do a lot of work, many people like to use them. Some people even have them at home.
Computers become very important because they can work faster than man and make few mistakes. Computers can help people to do lots of work. Writers now use their computers to play games. Computers can also remember what you put into them. Computers are very useful and helpful. They are our good friends. Do you want to have a computer?
