Nowadays computers are
used in all fields of life. You can find them in banks, post offices, shops,
hospitals, restaurants, pharmacies, libraries, offices, factories, homes and so
on.
You can find more and more computers at schools. Computer Science as a
subject has become an important subject in our schools. Almost every school has
got a broadband connection to the internet that enables them not only e-maling
but using other forms of communication (voice-mail, webcams etc.). I think the
computer labs in our school are well-equipped. There are several computers in
them with large screens and some printers and scanners, too.
A lot of students write
their homework assignments on computers. They usually use Microsoft Office
programs such as MS Word, the word processor program. They can use MS Excel,
the spreadsheet program. Using MS Powerpoint you can create presentations. When
creating slides you can insert photos, music and even some videos if you like.
Unfortunately, there are
drawbacks of computers and the internet. Some people spend too much time in
front of their computers, they are addicted to the computer. It can be very
harmful for their health.
There is an other form of
computers, the laptop. It has some advantages for example it is easy to take it
anywhere and you can use it while travelling, during meetings and on holiday.
Its disadvantages are that its battery runs down quite soon, its screen is
smaller and it strains the eyes more than the screen of a desktop.
The abbreviation ’www’
means World Wide Web, that is, the multimedia system of sound, text, pictures
and video for presenting information on the Internet.
My two most favourite
Internet activities are e-mailing and chatting. I use a free e-mail account of
YAHOO that offers 1 GB storage place. I have a favourite chatroom where I can
exchange messages with my chatpals in realtime.
Computers usually have CD
or DVD drives for listening to music or watching videos. I am in the lucky
situation that I can edit and write my music CDs and video DVDs.
