    What are the advantages of using a computer?

    Society has come to rely heavily on computers. Computers affect nearly every aspect of our lives.
    Although there are disadvantages to using a computer, we believe the advantages greatly outweigh
    them. Parents, if you're on the fence about the decision on whether or not to buy your child a computer,
    perhaps these advantages can help convince you.

    Increase your productivity

    Computers increase your productivity and, with a good understanding of the software running on them,
    you become more productive at everything you do. For example, once you have a basic understanding
    of using a word processor, you can create, store, edit, share, and print documents and letters. Each of
    these tasks was either impossible or slower with all pre-existing technologies.

    Connects you to the Internet

    Connecting a computer to the Internet unlocks its full potential. Once connected, your choices and
    available options, as far as information goes, are almost limitless. Many of the benefits listed on this
    page pertain to a computer connected to the Internet.

    What things to do when bored on the Internet.

    What are the advantages of the Internet?

    Can store vast amounts of information and reduce waste

    Computers are capable of storing and accessing vast amounts of information. For example, a computer
    and devices like eBook readers can store hundreds or thousands of books, given enough storage
    capacity. By storing books, documents, movies, pictures, and songs digitally, you can quickly find what
    you need by searching and sharing information between devices. It eliminates the need for paper used
    to make non-digital versions of the media.

    Helps sort, organize, and search through information

    A computer can use its stored information more efficiently than any other device. In our earlier example,
    we mentioned the ability to store thousands of books. Once those books are stored on a computer, they
    can be sorted into categories, alphabetized, and searched to find what you're looking for in a few
    seconds. Trying to find the exact text in a thousand books would take a human months, if not years.

    More sophisticated AI (artificial intelligence) can also be designed to make even more intelligent
    decisions. For example, there is computer software designed to help screen for cancers. Computers can
    scan through millions of possible signs of cancer and give a positive or negative result in less than a few
    minutes. Scientists are also using computers to help invent new methods of curing diseases with protein
    sequence pattern matching.

    Get a better understanding of data

    Computers can also give you a better understanding of data and big data. For example, a business could
    have a database of items they've sold. Using that data, they can quickly identify what sells best at what
    time of year, when to mark up or down items, and what items are not selling. Having access to this type
    of information gives the business a better understanding of their customers and a competitive edge
    against their competitors.

    Keeps you connected

    Computers help keep you connected with long-distance friends and family over e-mail and social
    networking. You can also connect with millions of other people who share your same interests through
    online forums, chat, and VoIP services, like Skype. Connecting to people worldwide is also an excellent
    way to meet people you would usually never meet.

    Another great thing about communication on the Internet is that it's fast compared to other forms of
    communication. For example, you could send someone an e-mail on the other side of the planet and
    have it arrive in less than a few minutes. Snail mail (postal mail) could take days or even weeks to arrive.
