Lesson 9: COMPUTERS AS INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

Imagine yourself without technology. Do you feel happy? Do you have more money? Technology is getting into the society and even invading our way of thinking. So, let us say, you do not have a computer, cellular phone, microwave oven and electric stove. Do you think you’re everyday life will be easier? When you have a family member abroad and because you do not a cellular phone, you cannot stay in touch with them as often as you want to. Just like any other means of technology, computer is a very important one. You can do a lot of things through computers. You can make use of the applications in it like the Microsoft word, powerpoint presentation, publisher, excel and you can even add pictures and graphics. In addition to that, you can search on the internet and application that you need like Skype so you can communicate to the other people even if they are a thousand miles away. Computers give us information. They are like humans; they give us new information and usually current issues. Computers give us instruction in the way we can understand them easily, this is because they are made by humans. This information may be helpful or may give us a doubt but nevertheless, they make us feel that everything we worry about has a solution. Using of computers can help you know what is happening outside your country and outside the four walls of your room. It gives you knowledge that you may need for everyday life.
